La Caminata (the hike)


Comandante Sombra. We joined a large group (40 people?) on an expedition to walk up the cerro (steep hill, not quite mountain), down into the crater, up the other side, and finally back down. A great day.

The young boy in the middle was our guide into the crater. His family gathers the coffee beans for the harvest. He wore only flip-flops on his feet and led us down ridiculously steep walking trails. He was basically awesome.

These kids were rock-stars. They ran down the hill at the end of the hike, kicking up dust that got in our eyes.

Hey Bruce and Kelly!!!

We're on Pine Street and checking out your blog with Tim Maria and Helen. It's awesome.

I just got in late last night and the weather is pretty crappy here: cold and very rainy.

So what's up with you guys? Big xmas plans?

Nana says hi(sitting next to me)

Anyway, I just wanted to say Feliz Navidad. Hope you are doing well.

Peace out

Tomas, Helena, Timoteo,and Maria
