First news on my friend Johnn¨:

Hello Ahren-

needs our support.

Always,
Chris and Neil

well, unless we miss the bus again…. we will be leaving atitlan today… what a crazy beautiful place… If any of you get down to central america, do not miss this place… it´s jaw dropping. I spent most of the last two days just sitting down by the lake looking across at the three huge volcanos on the other side… Last night i sat for two or three hours taking long exposure pictures… i hope they turn out well… i had the volcano framed in the bottom and then took about an hours worth of exposure so the stars are spinning around it… it looks good on the camera but who knows how it really looks.

Today we´re heading back to antigua for a day or two and perhaps climb a big volcano there… there´s one thats still active so we may climb one next to it so we can look down into it… we´ll see, it seems that its pretty recommended to do it with a guide and thats all the info we can get, no idea what city we need to start from or anything like that… we´re going to look into prices of guides and decide from there.

So, thats about it… hope all is well…
