Tuesday, August 3. When I took my kids to hell.

Ancient volcanic eruption site, looks strikinhly like the Buddhist hell.

I did, actually. There are a few places in Japan which are remnants of volcanic eruptions, where noxious gases leak out from fumaroles and kills off all plants. They look strikingly similar to the Buddhist version of purgatory and hell.
