Our new home!

Our new home - with the yard....a great place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon!

Pacaya - as it's supposed to be.....!

....unlike our first visit, when we had a great view of the fog! This time, the lava flow had filled up the entire valley which we had walked through on our first visit. You were able to walk right up to the flows to have a close up look.
There were so many people here this night, that when we began the hike back down, it was shoulder-shoulder on the pathway, and a long, slow, walk.

Lounging by the pool and soaking up the sun - a great way to end a holiday!
Thanks for coming Wendy and Ruth!

The Amys tackle Tikal!

Finca Filadelfia

This was our first visit to Filadelfia Coffee Plantation. It was a great tour, and a "high-end" coffee producer, exporting around the world, including to companies such as Starbucks. Definitely a different feel to it, than the co-op plantation we visited in Coban.
At Filadelfia, they are producing there own strain of coffee plants by splicing the tiny "seedling"(?) and taping two variations together. A work of great patience and precision!

Some more Canadian visitors! Mom Amy and Wendy

We had a wonderful time touring Lake Atitlan with Ruth and Wendy, taking the lancha out to San Pedro and Santiago villages.
We had a young guide - Diego - who was happy to show us the sites.
It was another shopping trip in Chichi! Always coloful, and interesting, with so much to see, hear, smell, and taste!
