Last night as we were walking back from the bar with a few people we have met here, one of the women in our party looked up into the sky and said "What is that red light." Brittany and I knew exactly what it was as we looked up to see a nearby volcano, Volcan de Fuego, spewing hot red lava hundreds of feet in the air from the top of the peak. The lava then ran down a significant portion of the side of the volcano. It was quite incredible just walking back home and seeing hot lava squirting out of a volcano in the distance. Quite surreal indeed. This morning it was still bellowing a healthy smoke column and you could see the cooling grey rock from last nights lava flows. I will try to get a picture of this morning soon.

I would have to agree...
You guys are back to the big bad city now, and we are in Quiché with no volcanoes...lame. =(
