Day 2

This morning, after sleeping like babies for 10 hours, Brian and I were awakened by a cute little voice saying, ¨Hey lovebirds¨... it sounded like a dream. Brian was our awesome tourguide of Antigua and then we made our way to the camionetas... or chicken buses. The bus rides were pretty comfortable, and we made some friends. One recent deportee who had been living in St. Paul, MN was on his way home and on the next bus to San Pedro la Laguna we met a very cute and friendly senora with her chicken. The road turned into severe switchbacks as we approached the lake, which came into view, along with all of the cute pueblas along its shores. We wandered around San Pedro for a hot minute until being generously guided to the hotel we were interested in by a very nice gentleman who ended up receiving a nice little finders fee. We are overlooking the lake, although we should be able to see more of it when the sun comes out. For now we have a great view of the crazy carnival down the hill.... carnies are carnies... the rides look a little patched together. See our photos....

  1. So who woke you up? or is your alarm clock programmed to talk to you? Be very careful about those carnival rides. I remember getting stuck for a while on a ferris wheel at Boyle Co. Fair. Not my idea of fun!
