Babysitting in San Pedro

---

OK, first of all I want to let eveyone know that I´ve added a few pictures to the blog entry about our jungle trip. If you were curious about some of the stuff I talked about in there visit it now for additional pictures!

I left Antigua on the 16th. Ryan, I, and a girl named Sarah travelled to Lago de Atitlan which is a huge lake a couple hours northwest of Antigua. There are several towns on the lake, and we´re staying in San Pedro.

It´s very cool being on a lake, the lake is huge, windy and we had to take a boat over to the other side. The bus from Antigua took us to Panajachel and from there we got on a boat and eventually to San Pedro. We´re staying at a place for Q15 a night... which is like $2.50 CAD (Sooo cheap). Food is $1-$2 a meal, and well, you get the idea. 60 oz of rum was about $10 USD.

First night here we went out to party and I found myself in the bar with a baby in my arms, really weird of course I guess her mom was there to party and couldn´t get a babysitter, so I was called upon!

Was quite funny, anyhow our time here has been great, Sarah left today and last night Ry and I went to these thermal baths which was awesome, we might get some massages tonight. Ryan starts spanish lessons here on Monday so Í will be heading east to meet Jord for Tuesday.

Not sure what we´ll do tonight but we have half a bottle of rum to finish!

Adios for now!

Wow, I've missed a lot!
So I don't check on your blog for a month or so (sorry!) and holy crap, Jason has a baby! Lol, crazy stuff, but these are the stories that make travelling so great. Well, I just wanted to say, hi, and see how you're doing. I can see I have a lot of catching up to do on your blog. Life back here in Van is good. Our Canucks need to step it up a notch or two, but even with that they're still doing well. Looks like you're having some awesome times, Jason. Enjoy! I'll try to check back in soon.
