San Pédro

Mary, Ganelle (a volenteer that is working at a school about 20 minutes away from us), and I were able to take a break from our busy volenteering lives to vacation a little. We decided to hit Antigua and San Pédro. We left on a Monday afternoon and took the chicken bus to Antigua. We were able to see our super star favorite spanish guitar player, Angelo Guzmán. We staying there the night and then took a 3.5 hour chicken bus ride up the mountain to Panajachel. Soon after arriving to Panajachel we took a 30 minute boat ride across the blue ¨Waters of Mormon¨ and staying the following night in San Pédro.

¡¡¡Volcano!!!
We accidently got off the bus too early and had to take a sketchy 2 mile hike before catching a cab, but it was worth it. Check out the View! I can just imagine Nephi standing right there!
We also saw this on out hike down. It says.. ¨News of great joy Christ is coming soon, prepare!¨ True True!

This was on the boat ride from Panajachel to San Pédro, it was way fun and so so pretty!!

The water and the volcano, Muy Bonita!We stayed in this SKETCHY SKETCHY hostle overnight for $3.. it was horrifying. The roof was just a piece of tin and I felt like i was going to wake up dead from the sick bed and the bugs! The view was amazing though, and the memory of that night is unforgettable.
The name of the hoslte is my name!! Notice how it says ¨SAFE¨. Well hey, I lived.
There are random bathing women everywhere, I admire the confidence. I´ve been gratefull more then ever out here for the things that I have and take for granted everyday. Like a warm and clean shower, a family, food... This was the view out our $3 window... Pretty good....

The food there was amazing! Breakfast is served!!!
