Chenae arrive and we took a morning to hike to an active volcano.
Thankfully there was a resting spot part way up. The hike was strenuous. Some people followed us with horses they hoped to rent, but Chenae and Dad helped me put one foot in front of the other till we reached the top.

The hike was gorgeous overlooking the green valley. It is nice to get out of the city.
Here we are at the edge of the climb to the volcano. We missed the lava flows which had changed course the week before, requiring another hour hike over the uneven lava rock. But here you can see the steam coming from the lava flows. It was still beautiful.
Behind is the volcano Pacaya. You can see the mist coming from the cone on top and the steam from the lava flow down the volcano on the other side. Behind us is a large lava bed of all different formations. It was an adventure.
