The ring of fire extends all the way through Central America as well! Always a chance for disaster, but beautiful country. Very interesting post and I enjoyed reading the links also.
Yes, true that! The ring of fire is a string of volcanoes and areas of seismic activity that pretty much encircles the Pacific Ocean from the tip of South America up to Alaska and around the bend to Japan down to New Zealand. 90% of earthquakes happen in the Pacific Rim of Fire. And yes, the country, while totally geographically volatile, is stunningly beautiful.

Thanks for your feedback!
The Ring of Fire is always in the back of people’s minds. Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis! Wild, beautiful country! Happy Easter!
Yes and we experienced a couple of good shakers while we were there. Such beautiful country. I miss it! Happy Easter!
