The Guatemalans got very busy with carry Jesus, today is Saturday and we are getting a reprieve, they were out 3 times yesterday, Good Friday, one trip was at midnight last night. I think they will be going like gangbusters on Easter Sunday.
The ladies here all where colorful outfits, here are some by a stall in Santiago de Atitlan, another town on Lake Atitlan that we traveled by boat here
We also went to San Pedro by boat. Here is a picture of a fancy church they are building. Many of the houses and businesses are open air because the weather is perfect all the time.
Yesterday we went kayaking, Terry was a very good sport considering his ankles are still hurting from the volcano hike. Here is a picture of Volcan San Pedro from the kayak. Please be advised, one day I will go on vacation to Central or South America and not come back. I haven´t seen one morbidly obese Gringo or Guat since I got here. Life is good.
(note to self: take another spanish class)

Great photos, thanks. Have you seen the Quetzal Bird? The hot lava would be on my must to do list, but that bird would be a must see. That is, if they are in an area where I would be. I am not a birder, but I would like to see the Quetsal Bird.
Keep enjoying your trip.
The pics are great! Looks like you're having a wonderful time!
The Quetzal bird is very elusive. I was in a museum yesterday where I saw a stuffed one, they are blue and green with beautiful feathers. I am in the mountain region right now, the quetzal lives in the jungle where I am headed tomorrow, but I am not holding my breath because very few people see the bird. There are 700 different species of birds here, Ive seen pretty green and blue birds so far.
