And being the genius that I am, I didn't pack any shorts. I'm glad I wore sneakers for the climb, because this was quite the climb - but it meant that I was also wearing pants.
We started out enthusiastic and excited about our adventure. But first, we had to get off the island :) We opted to take the cable car down the mountain, I thought it was a great way to see eeverything - it was really beautiful. This is the cable car we went down.
This is the boat that took us out to the volcano. Look at how happy we are, so naive ;)
This is me and my attitude about 30 min. later
Despite the heat and failing spirits - we made it. This is us at the top of the volcano.
And like Dave says "how many people can say they've climbed a volcano?"
Besides it being incrediably hot, and seeing a few puffs of steam, the volcano wasn't that exciting for me. Dave liked that it looked like a whole other planet, but I was happy when it was over.
We then took the boat over to the "hot springs" they warned us that the ocean was cold, but it felt perfect to me! We jumped in and swam out to where the hot springs was, which wasn't as hot as I thought it was. I enjoyed the cool swim after the rough hike, and now that I've climbed a volcano I don't feel the need to ever do it again. :)

That's hilarious...I'll have to remember that should I ever seek such an adventure. HAHAHAHA!
How likely, not so, but still...thanks for the tip. Glad it's over and you are no longer on hot, steamy ground. ;)
Love ya guys!
