This weekend we went back to one of our favorite places in Guatemala, Santiago de Atitlan. It is in the mountainous highlands of Guatemala. The days are warm and sunny, the mornings are misty and cool. If you walk down to the Lake around sunrise you can see local fishermen in their cayucos (small, canoe-like boats) starting their day's labor. The Lake itself is a caldera filled with water, in some places 1000 feet deep. It is surrounded by several dormant volcanoes that provide incredible views, and very fertile soil for local farming. It is breathtakingly beautiful.
