This dude was just chillin' on an adjacent table from where we were having breakfast. He didn't even react to me poking him with my fork.

Traditional Mayan sauna at La Paz hostel, San Marcos. The door is about 2 feet high so you gotta be pretty limber just to get in here.

The Elephant Bar. Good place for a beer, a game of chess, and some education about the true origins of the universe.

One of the many good spots to dive into the lake from. This balcony was the highest.

Hey Olin & Nellie: We were in Lake Atitlan a couple of years ago - good place! Your trip looks great. Hope we can run into each other in South America sometime in the future. We have just come back to Canada from Colombia (great place) and will return to South America via Argentina in mid-September. We expect to spend several months there before returning to the boat which is currently in Ecuador.

Hasta pronto,

David & Carol
