It is a beautiful view of the mountains from the lake and I was so glad to have the chance to experience it! It always strikes me as odd that this beautiful body of water doesn't have recreational boating like I am so used to seeing in Austin. No skiers, kayaks, waverunners, paddleboards, or sailboats. I asked Pedro why they didn't have any of these available for it would bring in income for you do see quite a few tourists down the mountain in Panajachal. He said someone tried waverunners once and they didn't make it. The local community can't support them when it isn't tourist season so they can't stay in business.
More of the vendors were able to speak English since it is a very popular tourist area. Love the colors of Guatemala and seem to have a thing for the purses here!! Trying to refrain - don't know if it is going to work.
Had ice cream at the local shop and Pedro and Felis bought this little boy an ice cream. He was so excited and I loved his smile!
After a couple hours shopping we took the boat ride back to Panajachal to have dinner at Sunset Restuarant. As you can see, it was a beautiful sunset and the food was wonderful. What a great way for everyone to relax and refresh today - Thanks Felis and Pedro for planning this for all of us!!
