Volcan Velocity

So, after a week or so of just hanging around Antigua shopping, golfing, eating and playing cards, we decided to try something a little different (read: Andrew wants action)!

Mountain biking sounds fun, doesn't it? The good people at OX Adventure Volcano Tours (website here) not only offer some pretty cool volcano hikes, but they do some mountain biking trips too. (which they should have on their site, but don't...but that's neither here nor there!)

There were many to choose from: Quiet ride to and through a coffee plantation (difficulty level:easy, rider skill level: none existent), A combination hike, bike and zipline trip (dl: moderate, rsl: moderate), a  high speed downhill volcano trek on a single wide path (dl: medium, rsl: technical) and a few more that became pretty advanced...

Hey, let's drive halfway up that and bike down. Sound good?

So, of course, we decided on the Volcan Velocity highspeed downhill vocano trek on a single wide path...

This is going to end well...

FUEGO MAYA!

So...enough of this living on a budget stuff. It's time for a REAL vacation!!





GOLF BABY!!




We decided to take a 2 day 1 night trip to the #1 golf destination in Guatemala, Fugo Maya at La Reunion. Holy cow. What a place!

La Antigua, Guatemala

Hello dear friends,

Andrew and I have been in Antigua for 6 days now. The city is quite nice...once you can get behind the walls. The city itself is surrounded by volcanoes, making the town picturesque from every direction. This first week hasn't been the greatest (gastro-intestinally speaking) so we are hoping for a GREAT second week!

Here is a little glimpse of the town we are currently calling home!
