Lake Atitlan – Nov. 18, 2008

Lake Atitlan sits between 3 volcanoes (one is active) and offers majestic views. We relaxed in Panajachel and took in the beautiful sunset over the lake.

The next morning we visited 3 indigenous communities (including San Antonio – I should have saved my up do). Each offered friendly locals promoting their goods, simple architecture, and bustling streets.

































We also couldn't leave Guatemala without a ride on a "chicken bus". We took the bus to Solola, the region's capital, to visit another market.

Hey Ang! The closest airport is Guatemala City. A one hour taxi/bus ride to Antigua and about 2 hours from Antigua to Lake Atitlan and the Chichi market. You'd love it! Go!!!!!!!
