"American School of Guatemala DUE TO THE ASH AND PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PACAYA'S VOLCANO ERUPTION CLASSES WILL BE CANCELLED TOMORROW MAY 28 2010"I climbed Pacaya with some family friends. It was pretty cool for a 10-12 year old boy. The active cone was on the side of a taller extinct cone so you could climb up above the active cone and look down and see the hot magma. I suspect it was more dangerous than I remember it to be. Unfortunately neither I or my Dad had a camera with us at the time.

That is amazing!!! I've never heard of that.
ReplyDeleteMiss McC: They're still closed. After the ash came the rains from tropical storm Agnes. Volcanic ash plus water usually means concrete so they have a tough clean up to do.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of anything like that. Then again, I'm from California, so I've never had a snow-day either. ;)
ReplyDeleteGH: You're from northern California. They never had snow days up there?
ReplyDeleteWhen the Wife taught out there in Ojai, CA she had mudslide days.
I grew up in Sacramento, only a few hundred feet above sea level, so it rarely got snow (every 10-20 years). At that low elevation, any snow would melt to rain before it hit the ground...
ReplyDeleteGH: Ah, I see. Never mind.
