Guatemala, Spring 2001
Just recently I spent my spring break in Guatemala to visit a good friend who is in the Peace Corp. I met Susanna while working on Isle Royale. Here are some of the pictures that I took on my trip.


Susanna
After walking up this volcano it was nice to just sit down in relax in the shade.

A volcano in the distance
This is one of several inactive volcanoes that I saw on my trip.

Susanna's neighbors
They did not have the luxuries we have, but they sure had great hospitality.

A refreshing cool down
I showed several of Susanna's friends how to play 500 with a Frisbee. After the game it was nice to jump in the lake for a cool down.

Can you see me?
I started swimming and didn't stop until I got to the middle. The view was just amazing in the middle of the lake.

Susanna's backyard
This is where I hand washed my clothes and showered.

Here we are waiting for a "chicken" bus after a great hike to the hot springs. !
