We have traveled many times in the past 7 years via the coastal road. The Guatemala coastal road is not exactly along the coast. It is about 50 kilometers from the coast, but off to the north you can see the chain of volcanoes.
Our first trip along the coastal hi-way, we were told, "Hey, there are volcanoes out there." You wouldn't have known it. It was an overcast, cloudy day and it was hard to believe that volcanoes were off in the distance.
Then last week, the early morning sunrise was coming up on the east and the volcanoes were crystal clear. We could see Pacaya near the Guatemala City airport, then the volcanoes near Antigua, Agua, Acatenango and Fuego. Acatenango was spewing a little bit. Then as we kept driving towards Mexico we could see the Volcanoes at lake Atitlán. Then off in the distance we could see the active volcano near Quetzaltenango, Santiaguito. It was a beautiful site. Suddenly we saw a column of smoke spewing up.
Our final destination - Xocomil Water Park - more on that tomorrow.
Psalms 19:1 - The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
