Journey to the Summit This journal records progress to my first goal, a long time desire to learn, converse & dream in Spanish and a 2nd goal continue training in Guatemala for my future summit of Mt. Rainier, Washington.

The sunrise was not as spectacular as the fog enshrouded sunrise from Santa Maria, but a still great view of the region from the 13,845 ft (4220 m) summit--the highest point in Central America. See video scan in the next story.

By the way you T2Cers, under my rain/wind shell I am wearing a big puffy provided by QuetzalTrekkers.
