Day 9- Part I

This weekend I went on a trip with a Danish woman I met here. We had a great time! It rained much of the day on Friday (just because I said we have had good weather!- Murphy's law), and we ended up having to buy some rain clothes so we could walk around Panajachel. This cute little town on el lago de Atitlan, which is a beautiful lake (8 x 18km) surrounded by mountains and three volcanos. Gorgeous!!



We quickly found our favorite places to eat and hang out.



And we shopped (low season, rainy weather, end of the day- perfect combination)!! The next morning we woke up early (everything here starts at 6 or 7 or 8- I'm a new person, and because of the 2 hour time difference, I'm awake easily by 6AM!!), had a typical breakfast (scrambled eggs, beans, tortilla, fruits, and a piece of cheese, which I'm not sure is so typical).



Then off to the lake.  

  

 

First, the view was absolutely wonderful. We had clouds, which I think actually added to the beauty of the place because it gave a sense of perspective and distance. I'll try to put up pictures of this.
