Holy Smoking Volcano!

After Volcan Mombacho, we headed for the Parque Nacional Volcan Masaya to see the most easily accessible active volcanoe in Nicaragua.

On the way there we sat in the back of the truck with our new found hosts, just like we use to when I was a kid (I tried not to think about what would happen if we had an accident). Apparently it isn´t illegal here. The legal driving age is also a variable. On the way down from the volcano, I looked in the drivers seat to see the 13 year old son driving, shortly followed by the 10 year old!

The volcano was awesome, with quite a bit of smoke and steam. I had to laugh at one of the signs which says you have to park your cars facing the exit (I guess this is to make a quick get away!).

Hey Suz

Looks like you're having an awesome adventure and lots of fun!! I'd definitely be sleeping with the door closed too... my theory being 'the hotter (and more humid) it is... the bigger the roaches' ewwww!!

Hi Suzanne,

Have been keeping track of your adventures and am so envious. I'd love to be Superman - always wanted to fly :-) You are in our conversations often and fondly. Stay in touch.
