Catching the boat in Panajachel to San Marcos
Taking a break from our 'normal' routine in Panajachel, Guatemala, we took a boat trip to San Marcos to spend the day swimming in Lake Atitlan.
The boys love to sit in the bow
I just love the traditional traje that the men and women wear
My girls
Atlas is so cute (and smug) 😉
The top is called the guipil (wee-peel), the skirt is called the falda (fall-duh), and the belt is the faja (fah-ha)
So cute!!
Lake Atitlan has been rising significantly over the past few years. This used to be a store or something like that. 😉
Is it just us? Why is there always a discrepancy on prices whenever we take a boat. They told us Q.15... Ugh.
Look mom! A caterpillar.
Ahhh. Books. It's tough finding good (or any) kids books. It's sooo nice when we do.
That's what I love about Latin America. Even a motorcycle gets a 'Jesus is my loyal friend' sticker
Wow! What a surprise. There's a turtle in the pila.

When we arrived, he'd just jumped in with his goggles. He soon came back with a line of fish. Dinner.
Greg makes a big splash 😉

We have to watch him clean the fish Mom!
Kimball loves to make strange faces on camera...
Cute little boys
I love these little old ladies

Good work hon
World-schooling at it's best
And we've reached our limits. Atlas can't go any further. 🙂

San Marcos is the town that made our decision to head on over to Asia!
We stopped at a delicious restaurant, La Fe, and had the most amazing curry. We knew right then and there that a change of flavor is what we were seeking! We’ve traded corn tortillas for curries 🙂
If you go back, go to restaurant La Fe and get their veggie curry!
Ahhh, yes, the change of flavors. That’s why we had ‘Thai’ week, and I made only Thai food. Sometimes you’ve just eaten one too many tortillas 😉
Or one too many curries! That’s why we’re headed your way 🙂
