So today was our first full day in Antigua. Loren and I are rooming together and it was my job to set the alarm….unfortunately, I didn’t. We were supposed to all meet in the downstairs of the hotel at 5:55am. Fortunately, Loren and I did make it on time but happend to have woken up (luckily) at 5:31am. We all hiked a volcano named Pacayo. Mr. Miller told us it was going to be a “leisurely” hike up the volcano. However, we all interpreted that as “easy”BUT he meant “at a leisurely pace.” SOOO, on that note, we were all quite surprised by the intensity and rigorousness of the path infront us.
It was the first time I had ever been on a horse and it was amazing!! I defintely want to relive this experience. A bunch of us went up to a further peak of the volcano and got to walk on the hard molted rock (dried-up-lava?) and that was interesting to watch. After, we all went shopping and bartering around. I bartered and successfully purchased a necklace and an amarillo (yellow) blanket. SO, GREAT DAY!! Catch you all lata
