Wensday was so crazy, we actually walked up a volcano. Well at least made an attemp to. Our home stay lady told us that it would not be an inclime that it would be a straight walk. YEAH....RIGHT. It took us an hour and a half to get there. While going up the volcano on the bus the veiw was so beautiful. All you could see were the clouds and the towns all the way at the bottom. As soon as we got there these little kids kept trying to sell us sticks for the walk. At first I was like why dod we need sticks if it is a strate run, now I see why. I was not even wlaking five minutes when it started to feel like I couldn´t breat, my legs started ti hurt. For me to be so little I am totally ou of shape. I tried my hardest to make it up the volcano with a horse, but after they ept telling we was almost there and I felt like we were getting nowhere. I got my butt on that horse so fast for 60Q it was worth it because if I didn´t I would have not made it. Then once we got to the top the view was so amazing you could see all the different volcanos that were round us. It was a least three more volcanos that you could see while up there. The lava rocks were so sharp I fell twice and cut my leg, my hand and my ancle. It was crazy, but it was fun. On the up to the top of the vocano I saw lava in the rocks. It was so hot that people shoes started to melt. I messed my pastries up. Our tour guild told us to go up a little further so that we could see that lava flow. When I got there I never thought that in a million years that me of all people would be at the top of the volcano looking and taking pictures of actual lava. The whole trip to the top was so amazing. Now the trip back down was a different story. On the was down Sabril twisted his ancle and fractured a rib, and Tyquan broke something in his foot. We were suppose to be out of there by dark but since everyon decided to wait for Sab it toof even longer. It does not take six people to help one person down a volcano, thats what makes it take even longer than it has to. While waiting for the rest of our class mated to get down the volcano lava started shooting out the top of the volcano. OnceI saw that I siad it was every man for himself and I was out of there.
The walk back down the mountain was better than wlaking up. It wasn´t as tiring, but it was still hard. People kept falling because they could not see becaus eby now it was pitch black and you could see nothing about without a falshlight. Plus it was staring to get every cold. Once we were all down the mountain it was time to go and I was ready because I was tired and sleepy and as much as I eat, surprisingly I was not hungry. Yeah I know on my last blog I said that it was boring and there is nothing to do, but doing things like this is worth being here.
