Volcano Pacaya

On Saturday, we got hike Pacaya, one of the active volcanoes in Guatemala!  The activity was led for trainees by a few current volunteers.  I know I've been posting about a lot of fun things, but really most of my time is spent wrestling with Spanish (namely, the subjunctive).  So, it's a lot of fun to just hang out and be touristy and relaxed for a bit.  Plus, its always neat to talk with real, live volunteers and hear their perspective on the things we're learning in training.  The best part of the day was that we got to cook marshmallow's at the top, using only the heat of the lava!!  Although, in Spanish, marshmallows are "angelitos" (little angels), so it's a bit bizarre to talk about cooking them.  Anyway, here are a few pics from a great day!
