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.

Teotihuacan
This is the pyramid of the sun at Teotihuacan
It has stairs that don’t seem to go anywhere
There’s not much left of the houses where the people lived
But it’s been abandoned for over 1200 years so that makes sense
Cougars were more sausage-shaped back then
And they really liked pyramids
Which are quite pretty
Is it still a pyramid if it’s flat at the top?
These are really just frustums.
They carved some cool birds
And painted other animals
I’m not sure the big kitty should be drinking that.

Matt’s Teotihuacan
Matt’s pictures of Teotihuacan also wound up in the wrong place.
And he took all the selfies
Because his arms are slightly longer
He also took pictures of carvings
Of…jars with fish fins?
And paintings of monsters kissing
And lizards in their ruined kingdom
The mountain looks short in this picture
But not nearly as short as it does in this bad AI-processed panorama
But what Kerri’s too lazy to do properly, Matt is happy to do half-assed!
Here is Kerri coming down the steep stairs.
