Vistas maravillosas [PART II]

I JUST SAW THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I EVER SAW LAST NIGHT. On the bus ride back from Riobamba, the view of the moon was of an otherworldly magic! Riobamba is located near the highest summit in Ecuador, the Chimborazo volcano. Unfortunately, Verónica and I were there for a radio workshop so there were no outdoor sightseeing tourist plans. I swear I felt as if I could slide open the window and touch it with my bare hands.

It appeared that big! It was of a bright and luminous white, so white that I could see gray patches, which are probably late heavy bombardments (LHB) that scientists talk about. My neck strained staring out the window whenever it appeared behind the expansive albeit light cover of clouds. I was gaping at the wonder of it, in complete disbelief that such a beautiful organic, natural sight exists. Yes, there are great pyramids but screw the ancient world, screw the industrious world--nothing can compare to the natural world!
