Just a quick post today to tell about my hike to the top of a 3700 meter volcano yesterday.   It was one of the hardest hikes of my life but well worth it.  The terrain was nice, passing through forests and farms, and the view from the top was stunning.  The first photo above shows the volcano from where we started hiking.  The second shows a friendly group we met at the top who made us coffee, and the the third a view from the top. Many more photos are on flickr.
