  1. Would you mind if we followed your travels? I'm a Spanish teacher from Hershey, PA, and my classes are reading a novel about a girl from Panajachel. We're looking for background information about the area including Lago Atitlan and the volcanoes as well. Thanks! You have terrific pictures & commentary! Mtra. Nesbitt

  3. Although I have never been to Lago Atitlan, I think that Lago Atitlan has some great cultures and is an amazing place to see.

  4. Hi, I'm a student from Mtra. Nesbitt's class and I was wondering if at Lago de Atitilan when you didn't use the Highway and used boat if that you used like a canoe or a Launcha. Also, do you think that the Highwaymen will catch on that people are going by boat to avoid them?

  5. Miguel-- Lago Atitlan is an amazing place. The author Aldous Huxley even called it "the most beautiful lake in the world" If you ever get a chance to visit Guatemala I highly recommend it.

    Kyle-- We used a Launcha-type boat, it had a motor. It would have taken hours to get across the lake in a canoe-- its huge! The fishermen do use small wooden canoes though. The highwaymen might catch on to the boat thing but I don't think they can really do anything about it out on the waters or at the docks, there are a lot of people around.
