Down and on the road

In the second installment of our four-part video collage of Kristina’s experience in Peace Corps Guatemala, I'll be posting videos that highlight my travels and the natural beauty of Guatemala.

Rio Azul
The video below is of the famed Rio Azul, located a short 10-minute walk from the house where I lived in Jacal. It has received numerous mentions on this blog, but was covered most in-depth in This and that..., June 16, 2008.

La-la-la-lava
This next video is narrated by my former site mate Erica. In July of the first year I was in Guatemala, we hiked and camped out on Volcano Pacaya outside of Guatemala City and she brought her camera, while I had forgotten mine. (Thank goodness for site mates.) Pacaya is an active volcano and was particularly energetic the night we were there. It was definitely a unique experience, which included roasting marshmallows on the lava (see Travels and more misadventures, July 23, 2008).

Monkey business
This one is a crowd favorite. My friends Katie and Dave and I volunteered for a week at a wild animal rescue center (see Vacay!! ... Peace Corps style and Pictures, as promised, Nov. 2008). While walking through the education center one day, I got a little too close to the monkey cage.
