Here are some pictures from Michoacan I took over the weekend. Surprisingly, I didn't go "photo-happy", maybe because I was on a horse that loved to trot, therefore, it was super hard to take 'em
The picture of the volcano -- oh what a story and sight. The hike took 20 to 25 minutes because people were trekking through ash. And if you've ever experienced walking on ash, it's quite a workout. It's like sand, there's no friction but instead of a flat beach surface, it was a straight up hike, every foot you put forward, you fell back two (steps). People were covered in ash, so were their shoes and pants. Then it started to pour ... and that's when our fun horse adventure turned to hell. There were church ruins 45 minutes into the horse ride. I had to take this even though it was very overcast. Still breathtaking. Some students decided to climb -- I didn't, wasn't convinced that a wooden beam could support all the weight! That was the only way up and down. I think I would have peed myself.
