Semana Santa and Lago de Atitlan - Pictures

Two very traditional Guatemalan sights

Lisa helping out making an alfombra in the street for Semana Santa

The dyed hands stayed with us for days

The finished product awaiting the procession

Where it is destroyed in minutes

We hitched a ride in the back of a freight truck to get around this Massive landslide

It is normal to pack all this gear plus 32 people inside.  I know.  I counted.

Mouthes full of decorative gold are popular.  Long live the Grill!

We went looking for the backroads and found them!

The easy and scenic way across Lago de Atitlan.  Great volcano views.

We spent two weeks taking one-on-one spanish classes

The school also helps out delivering food to some poor families.  This room home and kitchen to four people.  Lisa passing the eggs...

Lisa thinks her teacher Clemente is the most patient person on earth

The floating rocks of Lago de Atitlan.  I loved these!
