We finished up our classes in Xela and hit the road for the weekend. Xela was great but it is really nice to get out of the city and into the fresh air (until a truck pushes the gas in front of you and you are surrounded by disel smoke). We spent the weekend in a truely beautiful town on Lake Atilan, the town is called San marcos and access it by boat, the boat ride was a great trip in itself. The town is popular for yoga and relaxation so in the spirit of relaxation we enjoyed another traditional sauna, glorious. Unfortunately the lake is polluted so we could not swim but the views, the gardens, the people and the hiking made the weekend great.
After a relaxing weekend we decided to take this week off spanish classes and let some of what we leared last week soak in so tommorrow we are off the Semuc Champey, a river and park in the middle of the country, it looks beautiful.
We will resume spanish classes next week in San Andres, a small lake town in the northern part of the country.
Blessings to all.
