A hoy (today), Roni and I went to Pacaya, an active volcano sandwiched between the lush trees, mountains, and villages close to both Antigua and Guatemala City.
We joined a group of 8 other gringos, a couple from Englad, a mother-son combo from South Carolina, an intrepid travler from Toronto, and a mother-daughter-friend-teacher quartet from North Carolina.
After passing through a nice uphill jaunt through the national park, we followed signs to the vulcan. Drawing closer, we embarked uphill on the hardened remains of older lava flows. The rock was crumbly, black, and porous. As we further up the volcano, we felt the heat emmenating from below the surface. It felt and smelled like a sauna. It is pretty wild to feel heat coming from the rocks.
Our goal was to see actual hot lava and we were not disappointed. As rain began to descend upon us we trudged on and found small pools of lava underneath the earth. Very very cool. Well, Hot actually.
One of the best parts was when the rain hit the hot rocks, eliciting a sizzle from the earth.
As we came down the volcano we were met with rain and a nice breeze, and it really felt great. Truly special to feel many of Earth's elements at the same time.
We then congregated for a great lunch comprised of pita, avacado, tomatos, cucumber, and beans in a bag.
Sadly, I'm having a hard time downloading pictures to the blog, this computer is too slow. We have fun ones, so stay posted. I'll try again at another time.
Hasta Luego!
