Dear Diary,
I can never forget that ill-fated day. It is still in my memory. Recently, I was staying in Ecuador near the Tungrahua volcano. For the first time in 200 years it began to erupt. I saw hot lava, rocks and debris flowing from the volcano and advancing towards the villages. It was swallowing everything in its path! As it happened, people and animals began running to a safer place.
Have your ever seen an angry volcano burst and moan loudly? I knew that I did not have much time left. So, I quickly grabbed my money, clothes and passport. I rushed to the nearest taxi stand to get out as fast as I could. When I was 2 km out of the town, I saw a huge cloud of thick, heavy ash coming towards me.Although I managed to escape, many houses were destroyed when the hot lava fell on them. I was very sad to learn that almost seven villages were forced to evacuate!
