Hello All--
Today we got up at 4 am. and rode on a bus for an hour and then hiked up a Volcano. The Pacaya Volcano was so cool. The first part was muddy and very Jungley. We thought we were almost at the top but then she told us it was half way over and we had to climb up another even harder mountain the Volcano. It was all rocks and ash. When we got up it was hot in some places we thought we were going to burn our shoes. we bought some marshmallows and at the end we gave them to the group after us. the lava was so cool and really HOT! IT was 2 hr. there and 30 min. at the lava and 2hr.back. The whole thing all together was 2.2 kilometers up. the height of the Volcano was 2772 meters. Then we slept the rest of the day. I send my love!! *****ROSE
So...instead of going shopping, we climbed a volcano. I can't believe I made it all the way up but it was worth it. We didn't get goo close to the lava, but it sure did look cool rolling down the hill. I did start to get a little nervous when the guide told us that the rock we were standing on was today's lava!! We were so tired, we went directly to McDonald's and have done nothing but lay around the whole rest of the day. Tomorrow we are off to Coban--to go to the limestone pools at Semuc Champey (a little less work for me!) Hope all is well, now we are on the countdown and getting pretty excited to come home. Love, Mom

Glad to here you didn't become a toasted marshmallow yourselves!! Sounds like you'll get a chance to cool off tomorrow. Grandpa and I love to hear all about your adventures. Hope you are taking lots of pictures. Can't wait to see them when you get home.

Jasmine says...grandpa is so boring, he just sits and works all the time. Grandma says...grandpa is so boring, he just sits and works all the time. Jasmine will be very happy when you get home, for sure! She's doing just fine, and enjoying sitting in the high-chair with a bib and eating bagel with me...lol
