This is the view from the balcony of mi familia: el Volcán San Pedro. I literally walked out of their house all the way up to the beginning of the parque del Volcán. (That alone was about an hour hike.)
La vista del mirador (about 1/3rd of the way up.)
Vale la pena (It was worth it)
These women were amazing regalos (gifts.) The Andrea,girl on the left, has climbed Mt. Everest 3 times! She is the first sponsored professional female climber in Guatemala and is the jefe of a health company in Guatemala city which is also uncommon.

On the hike down I was captivated by the crater. (I didn't even try to take a photo because it wouldn't have turned out.) The cosa that really captured my attention was how lush & green everything was on this dormant volcano. Then a light bulb went off:
Even in death there is always life.
Even in death there is always life.
They cycles of nature require death to keep the soil fertile to promote more life.
This year my last-living, feisty, abuela passed away. Right after that, we had another beautiful baby boy born to our family.
