Caribbean Petroleum Corp. Explosion

OCTOBER 23, 2009

On October 23, 2009 there was a massive explosion at the Caribbean Petroleum Corp, a fuel storage facility just a few miles from our apartment. We were sleeping when it happened, but other classmates who were not said it felt like an earthquake and they could see flames shooting into the sky from miles away. The fires burned for days a left these massive black clouds covering the outskirts of San Juan. This explosion happened while Matt and Sara were here visiting. Above are a few pictures that I took while driving around, and below is a link to an msnbc story about the blast.

--The Good Times--

One of my classmates put this awesome video together and showed it to our class the other day...I almost cried. It shows a little school, a lot of fun, and a ton of great memories from the first half of the adventure that is optometry school.

PS--There are a lot of pictures from the 2 Halloween's that we have celebrated down here, hence all the pictures of people in weird costumes.

**The quality turned out really bad when I uploaded to this site, sorry.
