The dock at Isla Verde
Working up to the day we left, long flights and arriving in a city in full
festival mode took it out of us somewhat so we 
relocated to Lago de Atitlán - a beautiful lake in the Guatemalan highlands - for a few days R&R. The lake, formed in the caldera of an old volcano, is surrounded by a handful of small villages, many accessible only by boat, and not much else. We kicked back at Isla Verde in Santa Cruz(thanks Jack and Nat!) for a couple of days, reading, eating and generally taking it easy. For variety we jumped in the odd boat (usually packed to overflowing with locals and tourists) and pottered off to visit other parts of the lake, or climbed along the sides of the mountains to visit some of the little villages. Pretty sweet.

The village of Santa Cruz. Halfway up the side of a mountain and that was far enough.
Proof that pop culture knows no boundaries. Grafitti from the side of a school building in Santa Cruz.
