We made it! Hiked to the foot of the volcano!

Internet time is expensive up here at 3,750 meters in altitude. Two days of hiking and camping over 18 miles, and we made it. Everyone´s healthy and happy. Headaches for everyone until we remember to just breathe deeply. The mountain looming over us right now is colosol and spectacular. The glacier is strikingly white against the blue sky. Clouds come and go though, and rain is on and off. We´ve had a mix of weather, but enough good to feel fortunate. Tomorrow we ride horses, mountain bikes, and explore this treeless, high altitude, volcano made landscape of boulders, lichen, wild horses and wolves. Saturday, we hike to the refuge at the glaciers edge, then don the equipment and practice glacier climbing with the world at our feet!
