Don´t know if i spelled the name of the volcano correctly or not but it was pretty stinking neat - but not litterally (like Funtis hotsprings with it{s sulfer). You hike up and down a few miles on this dirt path which is a pain cuz it isn{t that pretty am kinda slippery with all the dirt, but at the end is this clear volcanic lake.
Mayans still do ceremonies and sacrifices. Chickens occassionally - at first i thought the guide was kidding - I still believe it{s mostly singing and flowers.
Although the kids do run the trails with macheties - Karen an friend of mine was very jelous of those macheties.
I didn{t take photos of mayans singing in their brightly dressed clothing that moring. (Not for lack of trying - the point and shoot Kodak just doesn´t shoot that far without getting disrespectfull) I did however, take some lava rocks.
Notice all the steps - that was climbing OUT of the volcano. they were side ways in real life and there were over 600 of them. We were home by 1pm and I hopped a chicken bus within the next hour. It was a full weekend.
i guess i believe them about sacrificing chickens
ReplyDelete- in a sense whenever i eat a chicken burrito - it is somewhat sacrificial -
