BOILING FUCKING LAKE!

Sweet mother of GOD what did I sign up to do?!?! Ten minutes after some confusion on the bus, we ended up on our way to Boiling Lake. We all had our waters and food and shit, so we were ready.

I would like to point out that not even a mile into it, I was winded. Maybe not winded, but I definitely HATE incline anything! But I was a trooper, took my breaks then realized if I stopped too long, my legs would shake and become wobbly. The entire hill was up and down up and down up and down and FUCKING UP AND FUCKING DOWN nonfucking stop! Whatever, I'm a trooper. 7 miles to get to Boiling Lake, 7 miles to get back. The trek back was just as hard and the trek there. I had marking points in my head when I came back, then realized I don't know anything.

The first pic is of the actual Boiling Lake, but after that some of the pics will be from the walk there and the walk back. They only let me post 5 pics per blog, so I might have to do another blog.

Really glad I did it. When we finally made it to the van again, I decided never ever ever EVER again will I do that. But now, meh, I'd probably do it again. One of the pics you'll see Kim and me looking into this crater that was pretty hot, in the area (still a few miles from the actual Boiling Lake) there were some really hot spots, and I was more interested in that part. So if I go back, I'll probably just end up there. Besides, that's where the clay was and that's where we all got dirty playing in it. :) My body hates and the idea of a body rub sounds wonderful, but Kim is just as sore as me and additionally, the idea of someone touching my legs right now kinda makes me whimper.

THEN! The second we walked through the door, Randy (the guy who showed me the snake pit) knocked on the door. Of course I'm muddy from the feet up and the second thing out of his mouth was "Uh, what happened to you?" He was looking for a donation for his school, so I gave him ten bucks. Then I asked him if he'll show me the snakes. The only problem with that, is we have to wake up at 7 to be there by 7:30am, where the snakes usually come out. He said he'll see cause it's really early. :) If I have to bribe him...I will! I want to see those snakes before I go!
