volcano

sometimes you have to climb trees and stand in really uncomfortable postitions for a while... but its usually worth the trouble.

setting up camp

last night we climbed to the highest point in panama, volcan baru. 11340 feet tall...we felt every bit of the 6+ mile uphill ascent. the mountain was like a fucking beanstalk kicking our asses every step as it grew taller. we set up a tent and slept (i guess) at the top with 3 people in a 2 person tent, unable to roll over or accomplish any strategy for comfort. we hiked back down at 8 o clock this morning and said our fairwells to a couple girls we split a room with... i think our legs are out of commission for this next stretch to panama city.
