Hola Chicos,
Time has run away on me! I am going to write down quickly what I did each day, perhaps more for my own memory, than for your interest... hope that I can remember!
Sunday - Laguna de Chicabal, Artisan´s market, Blue Angel Cafe for pineapple smoothies.
Monday - Lecture on the Mayas and temples that are being uncovered
Tuesday - Trip to Salcaja to see the oldest church in Central America, Caldo de Frutas (strong alcoholic beverage...of which I only had a tiny sip!), and seeing a bit about how how the thread for traditional clothing is prepared
Wednesday - I cannot remember...
Thursday - Went to another procession for the Virgen, and walked around the church.
Friday - Preparation of Pupusas, and of course, eating them together
Saturday - Trip to Lago de Atitlan, boat ride on the lake, swim in the lake (a weird combination of hot spring hot, and cool), San Antonio (visited women´s cooperatives who make clothes), and Santiago (where we visited an idol called San Simon...people go to him to ask for blessings and curses..., hiked a very small mountain, witnessed a pagan ceremony at the top, and visited a mask museum)
Sunday - Visited the market in Chichicastenango and then returned home...
Well, the pausa is almost done...so I should go...will write more later!
Curious! Considering what you did Tuesday, you can't remember Wednesday at all!!!
