Panajachel












I arrived in Panajachel by Chicken Bus two days ago. It is a beautiful small town on Lake Atitlan with a large crowd of extranjeros and tourists. It is always a little difficult arriving in a new place by myself, that is what I am coming to realize. Serindipitously I asked a woman if she spoke english, and if she new what I could do in the town, turns out she owns a small place and her husband plays bass in a band that would be playing there that night. I ended up dancing the night away with a small, roudy group of 50+ year olds. . . ok, well for the most part I watched as they danced the night away, but they were a fun, welcoming group I was happy to meet them!
Checked out the Reserva Natural Yesterday, it was beautiful! Hiked around, checked out the butterfly farm, and took all kinds of photos. There were a series of very unnerving suspension bridges that led up to a waterfall that brought out my fear of heights! Saw a monkey, some orchids, beautiful flowers, it was great!
Heading to San Pedro by boat ASAP, so more to come.

  1. Hi Anne!
    I finally got a chance to check out your blog. It sounds/looks like you're having an awesome adventure. When Grace comes home from school, I'm going to show her what her godmother has been up to!
    Love you!
