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.

Another nice aspect of our posada is the rooftop terrace. From here I can scan over Antigua to see the rooftops and the ruins of the many churches that collapsed in the 1773 earthquake. This morning I was journaling when a photographer suggested I go to the terrace to see Pacaya erupting in the distance. Tomorrow we hike up close and personal.
