One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done is hikong the Tajumulco Volcano. At 4220 meters over sea level, it was my first volcano and I was severly under prepared. I almost fainted like three timea during the way up as my not-good-enough backpack broke apart half way through. Yet with a lot of effort and determination I made it. And in the freezing winds on top (as I didn't have that great a sweater as you might expect of an unprepared hiker) I saw the sunrise from the highest point in all of Central Amercia, and I fell in love.
