Panatrillo

I mentioned earlier the interesting folks that I met during my stay in San Pedro. San Pedro is a much smaller city than Panajachel, less hustle and bustle, and more friendly foreigners. My time there was great for that very reason. During the course of any given day, you run into everyone that you’ve met who lives there or is staying there.

Some other highlights of my second week included watching the Champions League Semi-Finals (go Liverpool!), playing football (soccer) on a pretty international team against a team of Guatemalans (even though we lost, fucking altitude!), and celebrating my 23rd birthday. One of my good Swiss friends Lucien helped me to celebrate and I even got a present from two Israeli girls who stayed at Zoola with me (Rotem and Tal)

I do know that in the time before I leave Guatemala I will certainly return to San Pedro la Laguna. If I could advise my friends to visit any part of Guatemala, or of Lake Atitlan, I would have to suggest San Pedro. Below are two of my favorite photos I took there. Today, my friend Kyle Hurt left for the U.S. It was great having a friend from home visiting us in Guatemala (and I think she had a pretty good time too). Tomorrow I leave for Nebaj with Andrew, but once I get back, I can post about San Cristobal and perhaps finally catch up to the present. Thanks for reading!
