Fun in the Sun

Here are some pictures from our fun little trip to the Lake Atitlan this weekend. We enjoyed great views, peace and quiet, swimming, kayaking and hiking. We also watched almost the entire 4th season of Lost! We will spend the next few days working around the house. Tomorrow we are invited to some friends' house for Holy Week bread--they are bakers, so should be good!

View from our cabin on the ridge

There are 360+ steps (approximately) from the dock to the hotel--straight up 100 meters! Our count isn't exact, as it's quite the challenge to start over when you miss a couple.

Great views!

View from the road above the lake. That is San Pedro Volcano and town below, with the Toliman and Atitlan Volcanos to the left.

Gate to the Lomas de Tzununa Hotel where we stayed.

Path we hiked to the town of Jaibalito. The bread crumb trail seems to end here!

I'm in the middle of the trail here. That's my dog stick, by the way. I left my illegal (in the U.S.) Mexican expanible friction lock baton night stick at the house.

More of God's creation.

How would you like this row of corn to hoe?

Okay, we were driving back today, and we saw what looked like a forrest fire at first, but the "smoke" was going straight up. It was a really cool dust devil--Happiness is Lubbock, Texas......
