I've had a desire to walk between Casa Del Mundo and the village of Santa Cruz la Laguna for some time now, but it was never the right time. Normally, we have a team of folks with us who have an agenda to get back to Panajachel so we can either go zip-lining, to Nancy's place in San Antonio Palopó or CrossRoads Coffee Shop, etc. Today was the day, along with round-the-world travelers, Margaret and Josh. Today was the day that we decided to take this walk on the trail, over several wash-outs, and down the slopes through the corn fields to the small village of Santa Cruz la Laguna.
Hiking the trail reminded me...
- of my personal challenge of Summer Team Mountain in Bolivia with team leader Jeff Orcutt, where I mastered this mountain at kilometer 100, Carretera Cochabama.
- of climbing with Glenn and Ellen at Machu Picchu in Peru to the top of Huyaana Picchu (scariest trail I've ever been on).
- of team work, where Josh, Glenn and even Margaret helped me with encouragement and hand holds as I climbed steep parts of the trail.
I have checked this activity off of my bucket list.
