2010

We're back on the move again.
After leaving San Francisco, Cathy and I some how got stuck in the cold again in the midwest.
We had a lot of fun in the snow. A little skiing, hot tubbing and hanging out with the family.

Here is Cathy in Iowa where you can see it is way too cold


You can see the cats love it when it's milking time


Here is the mighty Quinn skiing for the first time. GO Q-DOG!!!


About to head out for a day of skiing


India the speed race heading back up the hill



It's nice to get back to Guatemala. We haven't made it back to the Woodduck yet, but we are getting close. We finally made it to Lago Atitlan. It's just north of Antigua about 2 hours away. We enjoyed 3 nights chillin' out. Stayed in a town called Panajachal and visited a very hippie town called san pedro on the lake.

the Lake is surrounded by three volcanoes



The volcano " el fuego" was blowing some steam off. Here are some cool pics.





We visited a coffee plantation just outside Antigua.


very cool to see the process, and then I helped my fried andres with roasting some coffee at his shop.

Then he let me roast 10 lbs of coffee to take to the boat. finally some good coffee. I think Ive found a new hobby.

This is the roasting machine


Here is the Green or Oro bean


and this is the finished product cooling





this is our last night in antigua and we'll be on a bus back to the rio dulce in the morning. this will be our last attack on the boat so we can finish it and get back to sailing next season.

Oh and I almost forget to introduce the newest member of the Pruette family
Zooma. This is my mom and dad's new airedale puppy
