After two days of travel, we got our first glimpse of Lake Atitlan. On the way, we saw a crowd of people looing into a deep canyon where a car had gone over the cliff a few hours before. The firemen were still on their way down -- several hundred meters.
This is Cabana #1, which we are not renting. We're in Cabana #2, which is very similar. It's at a place called Las Milpas, which is owned by the Pabst family. They never come here. The best thing is that you don't hear any motors at night. Just domestic animal sounds, things falling on the roof, and the occasional crinkling of the plastic under the sheets.
Right after we arrived there was a party at the Spanish people's house. Also called Casa de Piedra. We're thinking maybe we'll rent it when they leave in a week. It has wi-fi, whereas Las Milpas doesn't. Great food, Espanoles!
I'm so jealous!!
ReplyDeleteWay cool. Looks like quite the adventure. We miss you here already. Please update us frequently. I disabled my Facebook account, so this is great. What kinds of things fall on the roof? Jmm
ReplyDeletePlastic under the sheets? Oh... so you're a bed wetter.
ReplyDeleteWow, looks much smaller than my house, but with way cooler vegetation, i.e. there is some. Any way, i've got a ton of your mail, which you will be able to see in about an hour (I'll have to write a frickin' essay in order to let you know about it).

How exciting! What kind of foods have you been eating?
ReplyDeleteoooo sounds fun!!!! Have a great time!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a little late here, didn't think you'd have internet acces for a couple weeks... but I guess you had it right off the bat.
ReplyDeleteThe country looks really exotic so far, it sounds nice because you know the sounds I'm hearing don't compare to the rural(ish), moonlit, jungle. There's barking dogs everywhere and I swear to god they're barking at me in what's supposed to be my shelter, it's like they don't like my powerful breathing or something. Much love,

Convincing pictures of your trip down there. The nightly noise you are describing remember me some nights in Cameroon. It was great ! I hope you are having fun, and much later during the rainfall...
