Indian Nose

So we´re in the highland town of San Pedro, Guatamala right now. We´ve made a nest in an all window room, facing Lake Atitlan, on the second floor of this hotel run by one of the kindest little men we´ve met this trip. It´s very comfortable and mostly private and it´s all ours. The owner is Elisio and everytime he´s aound he just says ¨Oh! My friends, my friends! Hahaha¨

We´ve been on the lake for 5 days, facing our 3rd morning waking up to these mountains. All and all..life has been really tough for us...i kid. This morning we woke up in the dark and  hiked up Volcan San Pedro. I didn´t live out my 3 week dream of riding a Tuk Tuk at sunrise...but i gueeess hiking  my first Volc with the love of my life made up for it. It was really windy up top but the few was amazing. The towns seemed so lifeless below us..much different than what I hear as I´m typing in town.


We weren´t very pleased with the huge Park fee..but not only did we get this view- Look at this huge pile of trash we got to see on the walk back! It  really added to the appetite we built on the hike! Check it! Thats some good trash in there!

Our first few nights on the lake were in Panajachel. Lovely place. We´re off to sleep in our palace tonight so we can wake up bright and early to kayak and catch a bus to the next best thing...I won´t post a town name because Tyler will probably change his mind as we are looking at the bus.
Stayed tuned United States!! -Rachel.
