Volcano of fire and water

So a week has slipped by and I haven't finished the blog. I'm sure you all know by now but just in case =) This entry is for Monday the 21st.

Today was our tourist aka fun day. After we said our goodbyes to the awesome kitchen ladies, packed our bus and loaded in, and picked up all the staff at the church we took off to go shopping for souvenirs and some sight seeing.

 The first place we went to was an active volcanoe. It was awesome. We could look right over the crater wall into the "pits of hell". The missionaries, feeling the volcanoe was demon possessed, erected a cross in the 1800's to excercise the demons. (Strange the missionaries were acting like heathens.)







After that we went to a place to buy stuff. That was really fun being able to barter for prices and seeing what cool trinkets there were.From there we went to another volcano that is extinct and now is a lake. It was the most beautiful like any of us had ever seen. The water was crystal clear, warm, and we had a 20 foot dock to jump off of into 15 feet of amazing water. It was sooooooo fun.


After we had worn ourselves out from swimming we headed back to our hotel for the night, had our missions trip debrief, ate dinner, and turned in for the night. Big travel days the tomorrow!
