The Lake

I am sitting at the beautiful Lake Atitlan. And it is amazing!!! We stayed in this little resort hotel with grass and lawn chairs. It is pretty sweet!

The last week or so has been full of more Spanish Classes, helping to build a stove in a little village and volunteering in a little clinic here in Xela. Oh and I also went to a black sand beach on the Pacific.

And remember that pink/purple camera? Well it is pretty crappy and so I have only a few shots. But I have been bumming good pictures of myself off of others. So, without further ado. Here are some pictures.

This is the black sands beach at Chaperico...

And the sunset...



This is a women's group that we went to to teach about health and self-esteem. It was great fun.


Just a sweet shot of the morning in Xela...


At the market with another student. Her name is Debbie. I stole a bunch of pictures from her...including these next ones and some at Lake Atitlan.




One of Pop Wuj's projects is to pay for and make stoves in the rural area around Xela. The women now cook over open fires...


Me mixing clay...Debbie took this one too...


Lake Atitlan in the morning.

Having fun.


We all bought artwork from this very talented painter.


Jen and Debbie!

Well I guess that is all for now. Today I am off to Tikal. Which just happens to be the Massassi Temple on the fourth moon of Yavin. Go Figure.
