PACAYA VOLCANO

Raphael and Eric, our guides, made us an

incredible lunch on the volcano...they had

carried all the food up with them in thei

back pack. They made guacamole, fresh

vegetables and sandwiches...now if only we

did not have to walk back down the volcano.

Steve did not want another sun burn....

or he is in disguise for the CIA

Some of us...Philip and I included....decided

that we did not have to proof anything to anybody

and rented a horse to climb the last half...

which to some of us is called a Thigh Master!

The Pacaya Volcano is 8400 feet above sea level

the climb is mostly vertical.

the lava rock on the botton of the volcano has come

down in within the last month.

It is so warm that some people were

roasting marshmallows!
