There’s a live volcano in Costa Rica—actually several of them, that tourists visit. We went to the hot springs down hill from Arenal. When night falls, you can see red-hot stuff coming off the top. They have a safety system—when you hear the siren, get on a bus and get out as fast as you can. People do die climbing it.

I know.

The most dangerous touristy thing I ever did was to take a boat ride on “The Maid of the Mist.”

No Kidding. Our local news is asking why wasn’t the island shut down? Why were tours allowed? I ask, when does personal judgment enter the equation? As you said, it’s a live volcano. I think the same thing with the people that take kayaks out to see whales or glaciers and act surprised when a whale or break off from the glacier kills them. Same thing for the knuckleheads who go in a cage to see sharks or swim with them.
