SOL LATINO


Peter & I became "groupies" at the restaurant "La Pena". They had an incredible band playing there which we just loved to go & listen to. My favorite was Niri who played with such enthusiasm & you couldn't help but love those "flood" pants!!

MORE STREET SCENES FROM ANTIGUA

The coffee shop "Fernando's" where we were able to escape "the cell". Peter's tutor Jose Luis & my tutor, Siria. The Mayan girl & her mother were at the coffee shop weaving. It would take a month to make a runner for a table - they did beautiful work with incredible detail.

LAKE ATITLAN


An absolutely beautiful spot about 3 hours by bus from Antigua, Guat. We took a much needed break from our Spanish studies to visit this lake surrounded by 3 volcanos. It is predominately Mayan & there is much Mayan culture to be seen in this area.

Isn't she a beauty? This is what we get for trying to better ourselves!! We went to Antigua, Guatemala for 2 weeks of Spanish tutoring & this was our homestay accommodation - the "cell", el bano, the kitchen & our "classroom". Charming with a capital "C"!
