arrival at lago de atitlan, which is probably the most beautiful area of water i have seen ever. very chill, tranquil environment. i keep thinking im on a carribean island actually. yesterday was a long travel day from xela to san pedro. there was supposed to be a direct bus, but since it was a holiday weekend there was only a bus to panajachel, which is across the lake. the "chicken bus" was a 5 hour experience of stopping at lots of little villages and picking up more and more people. they are our old u.s. school buses, but they pack them full with 7 or more people across a set of seats. and children dont count in those 7 people. then a very "exciting" boat ride across the extremely choppy lake. i actually flew off my seat several times...
the hostel here is this hippie establishment with a bunch of dried up ex-pats. funny place.
taking the day off today but will return to spanish school tomorrow. more soon...
