To the big lake!

The drive to Lago de Atitlan was uneventful (save for a fatal big rig accident) and only took a few hours. We stopped a bit to check the views.

We camped in Panajachel and decided to take boats to see the other spots as the roads around the lake are slow going and steep. Also, the road to the coast leaves from Pana. We heard this was a great fun town to see but it wasn't as great as we expected. We stayed two nights, hitting the same restaurant for Plato tipical each night. We did manage to meet a bonafide shiteater, seen here feasting on diapers:

By day we took the boats around the lake to different towns...

Camper did not like the boats rides.
San Marcos was said to have all the rocks to jump off of, and they did.

We stayed at a liitle spot on the lake for an unreasonable 100Q per night, which might have been reasonable if we were skaters
IMG_1919 We decided that while the lake was beautiful, we were looking for salt water, where there are waves. Off to the coast....
