We took-off from Guatemala International Airport in a rented Cessna. This is the same airport that the commercial airplanes use. It only has one runway. This is a picture of the city just after take-off.
	Guatemala City.
	Guatemala City.
	After crossing the mountain range just west of the City, we flew over the western coastal plains and headed north. There is a lot of agriculture here.
	After a while, we turn toward and reached the Pacific Ocean.
	A small coastal community about 100nm north of San Jose, Guatemala.
	We suspected that this was a spot where shrimp were harvested.
	There are many rivers that flow down to the Pacific from the mountains.
	A small fishing town.
	Passing back through the mountains (volcanoes) on our way back.
	Many of these mountains are over 12,000 feet tall. The tallest is 14,500 feet.
	Coming out of the mountains, back to Guatemala City. The City is over 5,000 feet above sea level.
	Nancy relaxing after the flight. We flew for a little more than 2.5 hours.
	The pilot (Howard) and Nancy. (Howard is to tall for this photo!)
	Next...Howard leaves for California...
