Day #26 Drive threw volcano

Today was the dive threw volcano, so we started the day nice and early. I was exited and I felt so spoiled to see that we had a buss waiting for us. One of my host fathers friends drives a bus so he decided to take us. He stopped at all of the few points so we could take pictures. We had about 12 of us all together, each one of them loves to take pictures so that worked out in my favor. We took 300 picks today.  It was amazing to drive around the island and see the mountains, people and surprises along the way.  We stopped on the side of the road so that I could get my picture taken with a snake, all of the girls where scaredy cats. First we drove up to diamond water falls it was so beautiful, the water is grey from the sulfur of the volcano, yes it is still alive its just sleeping. We had lunch all together in the rain forest it was very nice. My host mom cooked all last night and this morning so that we would have lunch. After that we headed up to see the sulfur springs, it was so amazing to see the pools bubbling away, right net to that was yellow rocks and steam. It even had a nice little guest center with a movie and explanations. After that we headed down to have a sulfur bath. So warm and the water was flowing and grey. We smeared the fine sulfur all over are bodies because it is supposed to be good for your skin and general health. That was a lot of fun. It was a long day so we started are 1hour 45min trip back up to the house. Along the way we had to stop because someones car had flipped over and people where all around. The man in the car survived and was sitting up but gosh its scary t think about. Here it is tight corners, steep hills and fast moving cars. But I am safe at home in bed.
Thank you so much to my host family for taking me out. Pictures coming soon.
