Lake Atitlan

Mom and I spent the past 6 days at Lake Atitlan, which is Guatemala's top tourist attraction. The lake is surround by 3 volcanos and is absolutely beautiful. We went to a local market in the town of Solola to give Mom a taste of the market scene in Guat. THe men in Solola were the typcial Myan dress, which is not too common in Guat. anymore. We spent 5 days at a fantastic hote, Casa Del Mundo, just relaxing, swimming in the lake, eating delicious food, and took day trips to the surround villages. We celebrated Mother's Day with a day of pampering at a local eco hotel. Not too bad! Weare back in Antigua for 3 days, then will head to Tikal.

Hola Sara Sara.. sounds like you enjoyed Casa del Mundo as much as I did. Now I`m back in the land of the working and feel it was all a distant dream. Have fun in Tikal... you´ll love the monos!
