Since I was a small girl (we travelled to Mexico at least twice a year) I had wanted to climb her. In July 2006, my dear friend, Joan and I started training and in late July we summitted!! The day was rainy and the top of the volcano was foggy. But we made it!!












Here is a view of the Malinchi from a distance.









Here is Joan near the top!!
