John and I wanted to do something during the weekend since everyone else was in Tikal. Of course since we don´t have cell phones I have to walk 8 blocks to see what is up. I woke up at 9, ate breakfast and was over there by 10. We went to his schools place to find something to do. We were going to climb the volcano, but we ran into some kids from the U that I met freshmen year at nature of life. They convinced us to go to the lake Atitlan. We had to make reservations for the bus and hotel, go to both of our houses to pack, the market to buy water and snacks, and eat lunch within an hour and 30 minutes. It was a little spur of the moment.
The bus ride was an interesting 2 hours with lots of curves and fast driving and close calls. They like to pass whenever. And some of the motorcylce drivers are nuts and drive between the on coming traffic. We got to the hotel and checked in. It looked like anyother store front but inside it was beautiful. There was a little pool, tall trees, beautiful flowers all in the center with the rooms on the perimeter. We walked by the lake side. It was beautiful. There are mountains surrounding on all sides. It is a HUGE lake with 3 volcanoes on it. Then went to dinner and we experienced our first rain of the ¨rainy season¨ We have not seen a rain yet. It poured for 2 hours and it came inside our restaraunt and the drains couldnt drain it fast enough so the kids had to use brooms to sweep the water towards the drains and away from us.
We watched Bounty Hunter IN ENGLISH (whoo) and then went to bed MEGA early.. like 9:45/10.
