Here I go again on a chicken bus they call them chicken buses because you can bring small live stock on board. They are old US school bus that are fixed up by there owners.

It is very interesting but I like the 1st class busses better.

The first stop is a guy's house that sells blankets and rugs at our school from time to time. His house is his factory. He has sheep and he turns the wool into beautiful rugs, he does it the same way it was done 100 years ago and lives that way to.

The next stop is Momostenango for a market that was closed and some weird rock formations

Last was Fuentes Georginas, as its name implies, are thermo sources that emanate from the Zunil volcano and which flow into the place known today as FUENTES GEORGINAS.


The best part was the cab we had to take up the Volcano. It was a pick up truck that had I rack/cage on the back and every one climes in the back of the truck and off we go. You stand up in the open air and you get the most amazing view.   

I found I program that let me download 20 times faster now I can put up more photos, use the slide show it goes fast you can see them in less the a minute.
