Volcanoes, Lakes and Copan Ruins

---

The house building is complete and Michele and I have had 4 days off to sightsee.

First day was to climb Pacaya Volcano, which is active, the poor horse was pushed up the volcano by its kind owner. After all the hardwork the volcano was smoking but there was no eruption of lava! It was still however hot enough to toast marshmallows when we laid sticks over a deep hole, which caught fire and toasted the marshmallows!!

Next was a trip to the Lakes - Lakes Atitlan and the small villages around the Lakes, these were all very cute and it was a lovely chilled day. We have just got back from the Copan Ruins in Honduras. The ruins are magnificent and it is so hard to appreciate the expanse that the Mayan village would have encompassed. Honduras is great and I would defintiely go back there again! Clean calm and very chilled!! Teh food was amazing, burritos and nachos and no beans in site!!

Although the 6 hour shuttle ride each way was somewhat of an experience!

Next onto Costa Rica for our 9 day tour
