I am catching up with the blog so this is a little bit late. Wednesday was my last day in Panajachel. I am now on my own since Liz is on her way to New Jersey. Today, I decided to do a tour of the lake. We went to 3 different places around the lake: San Juan, San Pedro, and Santiago to see these small towns each of about an hour or so. It's a short time, but most of them don't have very much. Each has a unique flavor and unique things that they are selling to tourists. The best parts were actually next to the water, where you could get a great view of the lake from different vantage points. My favorite of the towns was San Pedro, which had a nice vibe. It seemed to be a place you could easily stay overnight, if not making your home Panajachel. Santiago had a couple of interesting items. Besides the church, there was also another San Simon shrine, which was in someone random home. It was a lot less gaudy than the one we saw in Zunil, but had the same flavor, and there was definite money collecting going on just to see it.
Wednesday night, I made the epic journey from Panajachel to Antigua to Guatemala City to Flores and arrived Thursday morning by bus.
