volcano climbing

While in Guatemala, we had the opportunity to climb an active volcano. Picaya, an 8,000 plus ft. high volcano is a once-in-a-lifetime site to behold. The older children from Casa Shalom, along with several adults, made the ascent on Friday. Pictures and video do not do the experience justice, but you can get an idea of the things we saw. By the way, never let anyone tell you that climbing this high is no big deal, especially if you are sea-level dweller like me.
