Usually the only time I am able to see the volcanoes from the roof of Alejandro's family's house is in the morning when the peaks are silhouetted against the pre-dawn sky. Yesterday afternoon, however, Alejandro returned from running some errands, and he told me that the volcanoes were visible. I went up to the roof shortly before sunset and I was able to see them. Both were snow-covered.

Love those mountains. Go climb Izta, Will. It’s the trip of a lifetime. And really not that difficult….
ReplyDeleteHi Gary! I'm glad to see that you were finally able to comment on the blog.
DeleteAs for climbing Izta... it may be relatively easy, but I don't think a slightly overweight man in his 70s should attempt it. Alejandro, however, in his mountain climbing days, climbed it number of times.
