Volcán Mombacho

It rained all day, but we had a blast! I took a truck up the mountain with Sara, Aldo (from Utah) and Mariko (from Japan). We hiked around the crater of the Volcano (3rd photo), and ¨fumedores¨, where the steam comes out from the active part of the volcano. Everything was wet and glowed, despite the clouds. I felt like I was in a rainforest- but they call it a cloud forest, which describes it really well- at first all we could see was clouds. After eating a snack, we decided to try to walk down the mountain, not realizing that it would kill our quads! We half ran down the mountain, and had some amazing views along the way (last photo). Partway down it started to pour... Luckily we were close to the hostel, where we took shelter and waited for the next truck (top). Needless to say, I was soaked by the time we trekked back into Granada.
