Acatenango
Fuego is a volcano that’s almost always having little eruptions.
Next to it is Acatenango
From Acatenango there are good views of Fuego.
We have finally learned our lesson regarding hiking so we took a 4×4 up.
So we only had to walk through the clouds for 45 minutes.
Fuego is very noisy.
Sometimes it makes loud booms like fireworks followed by thuds as the big rocks settle.
Other times it just rumbles like thunder.
There are nice views of the sleepy volcano too, but that’s less exciting.
There is a lot of ash blowing around up here, but only because it is cold.
The ash from the volcano blows the other way.
We will be spending the night up here so we can see the volcano in the dark.
We have a luxury tent for 9 people.

Chetumal
We walked around Chetumal.
Matt protected the city from pirate invasion.
We watched an exciting ball game.
Matt wouldn’t let Kerri go down the slide.
Or go skating, even though no one here knows how to skate so she would probably be the best.

Bacalar
Bacalar was full of iguanas.
They have a castle
For the most regal of iguanas.
Can you find the iguanas?
There’s one up here
And one down here
They have cannons
So you don’t want to mess with them
How do the iguanas fire the cannons?
With their very long tails of course!
There’s an iguana near this cannon and I bet you can’t even see it.
We had to flee through the flood to escape the iguanas.

Playa del Carmen
We had homemade tacos for lunch.

We saw an iguana.
It had lost its tail.
It had big claws.
And if you look at it from behind it kind of looks like it’s smiling.
Even though it’s not.
It didn’t like Kerri
But it pretended to smile.
We went to a weird restaurant.
Kerri had orange juice
These guys jump off a tall tower
And slowly fall down spinning.
