October 25th: Into the Great Wide Open



Our first stop will be Antigua, Guatemala, albeit only for one night.  Then we're off to San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala, an absolutely gorgeous town on Lake Atitlan (a lake surrounded by non-active volcanoes). We'll be spending several weeks here as we get accustomed to living out of a backpack.  Brushing up on some Spanish helps as well.  Our Spanish school (link below) provides 3 meals a day, stay with a Mayan family, and Spanish lessons M-F (4 hrs/day).  Looking forward to growing a beard, fishing, volcano hiking, and total immersion at its best.  More updates soon.
