More lava pics.

After we went to see the lava more people wanted to go (I should start a tour group). So on Saturday I took my family and a friend here  at school. This time we went during the afternoon.  

Lava

After Pacaya erupted another crater formed at the base. We heard that lava was flowing so Nick and I went exploring to try to get some lava pics. We had seen in the paper that this new crater is in Los Pocitos so we went on Google maps and found this little village. We had never been over in those boondocks but we figured we would just go and ask. When we got close to the town it got real foggy but we kept going anyway and when we got to Los Pocitos we talked to a local and he offered to take us up to the lava. So he got in the car with us and we drove as far as we could and then we walked about 30 minutes up through a pasture to the crater. After we got to where it was erupting it finally cleared off and was very awesome. I never thought I would get this close to lava shooting about 100 ft in the air and a river of lava about 30 ft wide. Before the big eruption of Pacaya this pasture was just a normal pasture without lava flowing out of the ground and  all they had was a beautiful view of Pacaya.
