<P>Monday April 15th - VOLCANO DAY!<P>Woke up about 7am. Made coffee, fed the iguanas, fed the bunny. You know, the usual. Sun is picking us up at 9am to take us to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory and the Exclusion Zone.<P>The pool guy showed up about 8am. Matt was already cleaning the pool so he didn't have much to do.<P>Sun arrived on time and off we went. Our first stop was the MVO. As soon as we got close we could smell the sulfur in the air. It smelled like burnt fireworks and burned your nose. We went into the viewing room and watched an 18 minute version of The Price of Paradise. This is a 135 minute film made by Sun's father, David Lea. We learned about Plymouth before the volcano and how nearly 2/3 of the island in uninhabitable. Really sad actually.<P>The "official" count of deaths is 21. Sun and his father think it's closer to 30. There were a few mentally unstable people that lived off the grid that they knew of, that haven't been seen since.<P>When you enter the volcano zone, you can drive around freely in zones A and B. To go any further you need to check in at the police post located at the border. You give your full names and phone number. If you are not with a local, you can't go in. You have to remember that this volcano is still active and could literally blow at any moment. The scientist say they have no idea when the next eruption will be. You have to be ready to GTFO at any given time.<P>Seeing the destruction first hand was surreal. It is a modern day Pompeii. It looks like a foreign planet. It is windy, ashy, dusty, hard to breath and just seeing everything abandoned was heartbreaking. If you go, don't take a good camera. The dust gets everywhere. You feel gritty after just a few minutes. Your hair is crunchy and your eyes dry out.<P>Our first stop was the Montserrat Springs Hotel. It was the poshest hotel in the country. It was eery seeing everything the way it was when the people fled. We didn't touch a thing. We did get in the pool that is now filled to the top with ash.<P>We begged Sun to take us to AIR Studios. Terry is a music fan and seeing it was on her "must do" list too. Sun said he would take us but he said it's very dangerous and the last time he was there, he swore he'd never go back. Our begging paid off.<P>Air studio was awesome. We saw the recording room, the pool, the guest rooms. Sun told us some of the history. Arrow (a local Montserratian) was the original singer to HOT HOT HOT. It was recorded here. Clapton, the Stones, The Police, along with others recored here. Keith Richards was stabbed in the leg (near the groin) by a local in the recording room. Sting and his drummer got into a fight and recorded in different rooms. The songs Ebony and Ivory and Every Breath You Take were recorded and finished right where we were standing. It was amazing.<P>We found some slabs of concrete out back that had people's names and hand prints in them. Like the Montserrat walk of fame. Climax was the only name we knew of, although I saw a Pete and a Holt. Who knows. Sun said they could be the famous people or they could be nobodies. It's fun to think it's the famous people.<P>After Air we went to what used to be a world class golf course. It was like walking on Mars. It's called Belham Valley. It was the main flow of the lava. There was a house that used to be 3 stories tall but is now just a roof showing through the ash. It was hot. The sand cut your legs. We found a few rocks to keep and booked it out of there.<P>We passed workers collecting the sand. They wear all kinds of protective gear. As long as the volcano is active (going on 20 years) there will be a constant supply of sand.<P>After the Exclusion Zone, Sun dropped us off at The Attic for lunch. I had wahoo. Matt had Mahi Mahi and Terry had ribs. I had my first ever sorrel drink. I liked it but Matt said it tasted like drinking potpourri.<P>Sun picked us up after lunch and took us home. Terry had to be at the ferry dock at 4pm to get back to Antigua. Mike was waiting for us when we returned. We talked and swam. He left at 6 for a dinner with the other pilots.<P>It was now just Matt and I. It was quite and nice to have time alone together but we missed Terry. She was so much fun to hang out with. I really felt like we were on vacation with an old friend.<P>Matt and I watched the sunset. No green flash. We walked up the road to catch a bus. It was a short wait. We wanted to go to People's Place but he was closed. The driver dropped us at Tina's. We had escargot as a starter. It was the best escargot we have ever had. Matt had cajun shrimp and I had providencial style shrimp. We both had gin and tonics. Tina's was "decently expensive" as Matt put it. Each meal was $80ec.<P>After dinner, it was about 8:00, we stood along the side of the road to grab a bus. We missed the first one and waited for a second. There was no second. We walked down the road a bit. Waiting. We tried to make it to Little Bay but got lost. We crashed a steel drum practice just to listen. They didn't mind and the leader chatted us up. He was from Jamaica but loves Montserrat.<P>We figured out that there were no more busses so we started walking home. It was now about 9pm. On our walk back home, a woman came out of a building and asked us if we were ok. We said yes, just walking home. We asked her if it was safe to walk at night. She said it was very safe and no one would bother us, it was just too long of a walk. She asked where we stayed and we told her. She said that was too far to walk and for us to wait. She came around with her car and said she'd drop us at People's Place, the walk would be all downhill from there.<P>The woman's name is Marie. She owns the bakery on the island. Her family owned the bakery in Plymouth but it was ruined by the volcano. She had left Montserrat in the 70's. Her family left the island after the blow up so she came back from New York to start it back up again. She invited us to church but we were leaving the next day.<P>We reached People's Place and she kept driving. We told her this was far enough but she said she'd take us all the way home. She told us a story of how someone gave her a ride when she was new to the USA and she never forgot that. She "pays it forward" now and told us to do the same. She dropped us off at our road and we tried giving her money. She refused and refused. We managed to get it in her cup holder and Matt yelled "donate it to your church". She laughed and said we said thanks and goodbye. Next time we will look her up.<P>Matt and I laid around the pool, had a few beers and stargazed.<P>Montserrat is a special country. The people are friendly, willing to chat, so open and welcoming, happy to offer a ride and eager to learn about you and share their stories too.<P>Tomorrow we leave Montserrat for Antigua. I don't want to leave.<P>PICTURES!!!<P>Matt and me<P><a href="http://s194.photobucket.com/user/jeannie_brim/media/Montserrat%20and%20Antigua/IMG_2464_zpsa6355085.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img
