panajachel and lake atitlan

the first place we traveled was panajachel. we were there for two nights before returning back to patzicia to teach. below are some photos from our travels around. for the great stories of what happened here, read the post on marvin and company...

here is the market. not the tourist market, but the real, i get my food here and am guatemalan, market. marvin had a friend selling chicken here so we went to visit him.



marvin and ashlee on the boat.


ash and tracy (notice the volacano behind us)


the church was directly across from our hotel.


marvin on the top of the boat. notice the volcano behind him. lake atitlan is surrounded by three volcanoes.


ash and me with our friend who owned the boat we took. we went across the lake to another village called santiago. can i count that as visiting chile?



ah, heaven. this was the room we stayed in for $20/person/night. not bad, i say.


look how clean our shower was! i even took off my sandals for this one...


the boats.



me and samuel (marvin's brother and my potential husband) playing paper, rocks, scissors. and yes, i won. hence the smiling.
