We woke up this morning to find everything outside covered in a thin layer of gritty dust. It turns out Montserrat had a partial collapse that caused dust to spew into the atmosphere and make its way to the Virgin Islands.
This pesky volcano has troubled us before. When we first flew down to St. Croix 3 years ago in June, Montserrat had errupted, and American Eagle cancelled all flights to St. Croix from San Juan because the ash in the jet stream was dangerous to their planes. Of course they didn't compensate us for the night's stay in San Juan (which ended up costing $400 due to all the hotels being full for a large motorcycle conference) because it was an act of God. Fair enough, I suppose; bad luck on our part.

It must have burped the volcanic ash just because you washed your car 2 days before. *sigh*
