Will I make it?

So, apparently, I am hiking and camping the highest volcano in Central America this weekend. This shall be interesting. I have never hiked up anything with the intention of sleeping anywhere near the top. So, we'll see if I survive...

For those of you who have been requesting pictures, here's a few to hopefully appease you for now.



This is a few of us after getting out of the hot springs at Fuentes Georginas. (the first outing I went on after my first day of class) It was pretty steamy while we were in the water, so those pictures didn't really turn out. The guy to my right is Charles - one of the guys who works here at the school. He is from Alabama. The other two are siblings from Australia that were traveling Central America with their dad.



This one is at our school. We made these cheesy "murals" in honor of the Mayan New Year. The people in the picture consist of an ER doctor and nurse, a guy from Southern California who is here learning Ki'che, one of the indigenous languages, a Japanese girl who is currently studying in Hawaii and my friend Eyal and me.



This is me preparing some of the candles and offerings for the ceremony we had to celebrate the Mayan New Year.



And this is well into the ceremony.

Okay, that's about all the patience I have for now - it takes too long!

So, like I said, I am off on an excursion up a volcano this weekend. If I make it back down, I'll be taking just three more days of classes - Mon, Wed and Thurs - and then I head back on Friday. The time has flown by!

I hope you all are doing well!

Hasta Pronto,

Kim : )
