Sorry for not keeping up with the blog the last couple of weeks. The internet refuses to load pictures, and I've been busy, so between the combination....no news!
When I told you I went to the city, I forgot I had taken a couple of pictures! We were wandering around, and here was this random statue of Romulus and Remus! Let's review...where was I again? Evidently one of the past presidents had a thing for Rome, so you are likely to find things like this all over Guatemala City.
And of course...there's always time for a Coke!
Random statue in a random circle, but it looked cool so you guys can see it too!
Here comes the good part. Last weekend, I went to Lago Atitlan. It is a natural lake formed when a huge volcano colapsed on it self. The lake is approx 300 meters deep, and since it is on top of volcanic rock, it is crystal clear and a deep blue! It is really beautiful. It is surrounded by dormant volcanos, so it the scenery is gorgeous as well. Here is a shot of one of the volcanoes and the lake.
While we were there (I was on a tour with my school with a couple of other students), we stayed in a place called Panajachel. From there we took ferries, like those pictured below, to several other pueblos around the lake. There are 12 in all. Talk about the slow boat to China! The first was fast, but after that...chug...chug...chug.
I'm going to go ahead and post this, and see if I can't start a new one that I can add more pictures to. More later,
Earline
