Well been really busy so have been pretty relaxed about blogging. Since my last blog we have been to Monterrico, Antigua and back to the lake. I am sitting here in my little slice of heaven, located here on Lago de Atitlan in the small town of San Pedro. Monterrico is a small town on the Pacific coast of Guatemala.

Fredy

This is a friend of a friend that came to our hotel to meet us. He was such a nice young man that loved to talk about the lakes history. Vicki had a Leatherman knife that Ed had given here to find a young man to give to. Needless to say Fredy was a very happy camper to be the recipient of it. Funny thing I brought him some Kona coffee as well and he was so excited to try it and compare to local coffee. He is a local guide here

Another great breakfast

Just learned why the colors are different. The colors al signify whether they were old, young or adults. I never knew that!
