San Pedro La Laguna

Hello from San Pedro!

I have posted pictures on my flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/photos/anneagain/?saved=1), so check that out to see what it looks like here. It is beautiful! This is my 4th or 5th and final day in San Pedro. I spent a good chunk of my time lounging on the hammock on the porch of my fourth floor room, taking in the view and watching the sunrise. I also did some kayaking on the lake, which subsequently turned me into a bright red lobster from the high altitude sun. It was worth every minute of it, as I was able to see San Marcos (another town), and spend a very relaxing four hours paddling around.
You can definately see the cyanobacteria from shore, and it is multiplying at a fairly rapid rate. Algae blooms are not huge, but are definately forming on the surface in some areas closer to shore. Today I am heading to Tzununa (on the lake) for an ecological festival. Rebecca and Andy are representing Long Way Home, and the other volunteers will be there too. Tomorrow we head out to Coban and then to Semuq Champey. I am excited for the change in scenery, even though this one has been so beautiful!
