Panajachel

Last weekend some of the teachers from school went to Lake Atitlan.  It was beautiful and we had a fun weekend.  The lake is surrounded by small towns and we stayed in one of the larger ones called Panajachel.

We took a boat ride across the lake to another town called San Antonio.



I am loving the sky in this picture!



This volcano appeared to be topped with Cool Whip!



Dulce and Matthew are the children of my school's director.

In San Antonio we visited a ceramics shop. 

The next day we went to a nature reserve.  The highlight of this trip was that Kristen, Charlotte, and I did the zip-line.  They also had waterfalls, monkeys, and amazing hanging bridges.

Here I go!

Or not....  The guide had to
push each of us off on the first line.

After zip-lining they had two more challenges for us.  The second was much more difficult that it appeared.

Having the guide get the spider off the rope before I started :)
