We spent about ten days on Lake Atitlan, visited many of the villages, did some hiking, swam in the lake, ate at a lot of mediocre restaurants (a drastic change from the food in Antigua), and generally had a nice relaxing time soaking up the views from all around. I … Read More
San Juan La Laguna
A quiet day at the lake. Up above the town of San Juan La Laguna is a short hike to a nice mirador looking out over Lake Atitlan. On the way up we had a nice view of Indian Nose across the valley. Back in town we saw these two … Read More
San Marcos
Sunrises over Lake Atitlan have been pretty dramatic. The view from the bedroom porch is fantastic. I think I’ll always prefer ocean views, but mix a big lake in with mountains and volcanoes and we’ve got a pretty good combination going. We headed across the lake to San Marcos, one … Read More
Santiago Atitlan
Lowe spotted a ball floating in the muck and just had to have it. It was half deflated, but that didn’t matter, it became the main toy for a week. Dogs are everywhere you look around Lake Atitlan. Ali is raising a bit of money for the great people from … Read More
Volcan San Pedro
Hiking Volcano San Pedro seemed like it would be a fun way to spend the day, and it was. We really enjoyed having Chavo around for a couple of weeks, and were very happy to be able to send him off to a new life in a loving home instead … Read More
Lake Atitlan
Settling in at our San Pedro house above Lake Atitlan for a few days. Tuk tuks and wandering around town for our first day while we get acquainted with our new surroundings. Not a bad spot to get a little work done.
Adiós Chavo
Somehow it’s always the sweetest dogs that attach themselves to us on the streets. Chavo is about as quiet and gentle as a dog can get. We loved having him around, but were okay with saying goodbye as well. When he first followed Ali and the kids (remember I had … Read More
Postcards from Antigua
The patio gets a little slimy after a few days when there is some rain, so Lowe took it upon himself to get out there and give it a scrub. It’s funny, we always feel like we are rough on places, even without trying to be, but we always get … Read More
Antigua History
Antigua is chock full of beautiful ruins to walk around. They all just make a nice place to spend an hour, whether or not you are interested in their history. They are like a small park in the States where you might go to just get away from the hustle … Read More
Antigua with Abuela
A new family photo book. We love these things. We have stacks of them on the boat and still have periods we need to fill in. It’s a fun way to relive memories with the kids. Chavo not feeling so hot, though he might have been faking since he was … Read More
Guatemala Street Dog
Our new street dog turned foster dog, Chavo. For the first two days he was with us he was hardly awake—slept like he hadn’t slept in months. We pulled huge ticks off of him and took him to the vet where he got a rabies shot and some other stuff … Read More
