We are finally off to Guatemala, after getting our fill of old stone statues and the like at Tula.

| Kids dig TACA airlines because each seat has a screen that plays the cartoon network. What could be better? |
 |
| Tom ended up with all of our airplane food rejects. We called it "Tom's Tienda". |

|
| Goodbye large, sprawling, smoggy Mexico City... | | | | |

 |
hello beautiful green countryside of Guatemala.
|
 |
| I really loved these colorful buses. THey are all different - the owners decorate them as they please. |
 |
| On our way in the water tax to our house on Lake Atitlan. It was accessible only by boat, and some footpaths which we discovered later. |
 |
| Their favorite place to ride. |
 |
| finally there |
 |
| The view from our dock. Aldous Huxley is often quoted as calling Lake Atitlan one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, saying "it really is too much of a good thing." |

one of our roommates

 |
| and another, cuter, fuzzier roommate |
 |
| she's thinking, "what is he wearing?!" |
 |
| morning fishermen |
 |
| One day, Will and Alya rescued hundreds of butterflies from the lake. The visitors would rest on the bow of the kayak as their wings dried and then fly off. |
 |
| docked for some cliff jumping |
 |
| The walking paths behind our house. We hiked to the nearest small village for some pie. |
 |
The kids drinking "atole", a drink made of rice, sugar, spices, etc. It varies from region.
|
 |
The little 3-wheelers are called "Tuk tuks". They all sound like they are on their last leg, but they managed to get us up a hill into town.
|
 |
| always fun to see lots of peeping chicks |
 |
| If it wasn't for our clothes, we'd fit right in... |
 |
| an evening swim off the dock |
