Peak-a-boo with Cotopaxi
(Note: I wrote this note about a week ago and I didn't even realize the pun in my own title until just now (peak-a-boo & mountain peaks). Even my subconscious is cheasy... I'm hopeless).
About 2 weeks ago, I went to see Cotopaxi - the world's highest continuously active volcano. It erupts about every 15 minutes.
We were lucky enough to get this picture when we were there.

Haha... just kidding. It erupts more like every 15 years... which is still pretty active. But it is one of the most symmetrical volcanoes.
However, when we visited it, it was behind clouds for most of the time.
The family and I drove up as high as our car could take us and stopped to walk. We then walked up the slope for about 15 minutes before we decided that none of us had the lungs to reach the snow.
However, as we were walking down to the car, we were blessed with a few snow flurries.
Hmmm... taste good.
And finally, Cotopaxi peaked its peak through the clouds.
We were able to take a few pictures of Cotopaxi's peak.
¡Que symmetrical!
And since we weren't able to reach the snow peak, we found a little patch of dirty snow by the edge of the road. Nicky was determined to have a snow fight. Kids.
See the snow ball flying at the camera!?
And I joined in on the action.
By the end, everyone was throwing snow balls.
What great fun
