Full moon volcano hike

Wow, Its been an exciting last couple of days...

On Saturday, a group from the school went to Xocomil, a very nice tropical waterpark
set in a warm humid jungle area...We played around all day on slides lazy rivers, played
volleyball and had a nice taste away from the typical cold Xela Climate..

Bad luck struck when I put my smelly sandals in the lockerroom because they smelled
too much to put in my locker...Thats what I did wrong...I went back later to get my sandals
and too my surprise, my sandals and dirty socks were gone. I think it was probably the workers who took them because they seemed upset when I asked them for help or a lost and found..
Oh weell...A friend borrowed me her flip flops till I made it to the market the next day
and got a pair of local handicraft sandals.

Tuesday night me and 18 other people went on a full moon volcano hike that goes up to
12,000 ft abaove sea level...We left at 11pm and I went with the slow group and we all stayed
together and walked slowly with lots of breaks because of the high altitude and steepness of terrain..We had very nice views of the city when there was breaks in the forest...
We arrived at the top at like 5.45am, just a little before sunrise...
2 other volcanoes were blowing there top and and you could see the most amazing 360 degree
view of the mtns., pacific ocean, and like 6 other massive volcanoes....When the sun came up and started to shed its light it made an unforgettable picture in my mind, one I cant share cause
I am without my camera. We hung around and just admired the natural beauty of Guatemala and then we came back down at 11am...It was good because we were like a family sticking together where you stay and work together and make sure everyone is feeling fine enough
to continue and we all made it up, some made it easier and some harder..But we got there together..VOLCANO SANTA MARIA, XELA GUATEMALA
