Volcan Mombacho

So what is the first thing I want to do on a day away from the kids??? I guarantee you that as of 7:30 am this morning, it was not climbing in the car and setting off to hike around the Volcano Mombacho. But fortunately with great friends, great weather, and a good set of tennis shoes, we had a blast! We drove up a majority of the way, and then were able to hike circling around the crater of the volcano. 


We started off a little chilly and happy we had brought jackets with us, but we quickly warmed up and were constantly awestruck by God's creations. 

Then we went through the 'tunnel' to get another look of inside the volcano.

I may have been a little over zealous in taking pictures, but it was all so beautiful I couldn't get enough, and even though I am trying, you cannot experience its full beauty through the pictures either!

The famous coffee of Nicaragua that is grown along the sides of the volcano.

The crew!

So despite the hesitant beginnings, it was absolutely worth it (we even want to go back and hike the long trail- 4 hours as opposed to 1.5 hours!) and I would recommend it to anyone in their site seeing adventures of Nicaragua!
