On Fuego looking at Volcan de Agua, which we climbed the week before but crime is high there so we had no photos as we did not want to get robbed.

Nice wild flowers

We felt like gods up there












Covered in burrs and yes it was cold, Brrrrr!



























The colors were nuts!

Volcano shots

Frickin cold!
Just as the picture was taking the volcano errupted and shook the ground, what a rush.
This pic does almos no justice but this slope is almost vertical. If you fall you die for sure!

There was a road here right?

you can see where it ends and where it was on the other side

Lots of landslides

another

Huge landslide from june just getting cleaned up but another happened this day just ahead.

Foot bridge to cross the landslide just outside of panajachel, Guate

This landslide was huge and moving a bit but we were freezing and had to cross with bikes it was intense like the party at the campgrounds!

Just after we crossed

Serious adrenaline
different landslide just below
In Panajachel the river is eating the city away, that is a small market

In pana we stayed with some awesome cyclists who had chickens. Thanks Matthew and Nancy!
