A view of the peak we (Josh, Eddie, and Sarah) summited. It is called Iliniza norte, a dormant volcano that forms part of the avenida de los volcanes (Avenue of the Volcanoes).
Here's a view of the sister peak Iliniza sur. This is a more technical climb, maybe another day.
Here I am on the trail with a great view of Cotopaxi in the background. We hope to climb Cotopaxi in February.
At the summit (16, 818 ft).
Owen was ready to go too, but in the end decided to sit this one out until he's a little older.
Owen did get to meet some cute puppies. At the Hosteria Papagayo they had a small ranch of sorts. One of the dogs just had puppies. Here's an Anne Geddes style picture with the O-ster and one of the pups.
Owen also had his first horse "ride"
And of course there were llamas.
So in the end this may be one of my best posts yet. Mountaineering, cute Owen pics, puppies, and llamas all in one post has got to be some sort of a record. We had a great time and hope to got back to Papagayo and relax (and climb huge mountains).

Oh how fun. Owen looks soooooooo cute but you knew that :-P
That mountain climb looks like the one they did on the last season of the Mole. So cool! And seeing Owen on the horse made me lol, he's so tiny in comparison!
The O-ster! That is too cute. Every baby needs a nick name. Looks like you are in Josh Heaven! (Oh, I also love Owens little jacket & hat, that is the cutest thing ever!)
Papagayo is Portuguese for Parrot. (I don't know if the spelling is the same...) And I only know that becasue it's one of the 3 Portuguese words Grace and I know.
Thanks for sharing all of the adventures you get to go on. What a neat experience for you guys!
