Oye my head
Yesterday i climbed by first volcano: Guagua Pichincha. Our guide dropped us off about 1000m below the sumit and we hiked up the rest of the way to 4800m. The weather was great the entire way up followed by a nice hail storm on the way back down. Speaking of going down...we chose a path that had very soft sand which allowed us to run down (similar to my moroccan dune experience). After a few minutes of running, i stopped for a little break and then it hit me. You know the feeling you get when you drink a slurpy too quickly...ok, multiply by 2 and have it last for 20 minutes. Lesson learned, high elevation and running dont mix too well.
Guagua...pronounced ´wawa´ and when translated means ´baby´...get it?
