Mt. Baul

July 17th
On the outskits of Xela one can find Mt. Baul, it is one of the many peaks that surround this beautiful city. Our school, El Mundo en Espanol, sponsored a little excursion out to the peak of this mountain which really was not all that tough or much of a struggle at all. It was a nice little stroll that had a dead dog on it, which was interesting. Each person in the Somos Hermanos familia went on this nice little hike. The hike could not have taken more than say an hour to reach the top, but it provided some wonderful views of the city. The trip up our guide Jorge, suggested that we take the short cut up, which included an interesting wire rope ( literally I believe it was a telephone wire that had been finished its usefullness and someone thought it would make a great wire to be used to pull people up the side of steep mountain. The wire was very strong but frayed at certain points, needless to say I was happy that I had a tentus shot before I left. Once we made our way to the top we were able to reap the beautiful views of Mtn Baul...simply georgous.
