El salvador and volcan acatenango

Coop and henry flew into Guatemala and met us in Antigua. After discussing plans, we headed straight for El Salvador and stayed there for five days of surfing and ringing in the new year! We stayed at a small beach called playa mizata for three of those nights where two families let us park between their tin roof shacks.
We surfed, spearfished and hung out with the local kids, spent new years in tunco, and drove back to Guatemala for a day of climbing a volcano.
We ended up choosing acatenango, summited in a cloud and wind that could bow your face off. We sat down on top, joked around and ran back down through the cloud and jungle. It's steep! My quads still hurt two days later.

And now! Today we start language classes in xela. Time to mellow out for a few weeks and learn some Spanish.
