San Marcos la Laguna
Oh, how I love San Marcos la Laguna! This is the kinda place I could hang for the rest of my life, staring at the lake, drinking limonada, chatting with beautiful people from foreign lands. This morning I woke up for yoga class held in a pyramid. Then I headed to a cafe with awesome coffee made from local beans overlooking the lake with hummingbirds and butterflies flitting about.
Other than the scenery, it´s a little hard to believe I´m actually in Guatemala. I´m not sure how I´ll ever learn Spanish here, considering everyone here speaks English. Occasionally I will meet people who are willing to try to suffer through my Spanish to practice conversation, but when you both speak well enough in English, it´s hard to be very disciplined about it. Still though, I am improving day by day. I´ll start class again next Monday in San Pedro la Laguna. I´m thinking I might live in San Marcos for awhile, and study in San Pedro, which is apparently a 15 minute boat ride away.
Tonight there´s a party to celebrate the full moon. Looking forward to meeting some more of the local gringos in town... think I´ll bring my hula hoop along. ;-)

it sounds like a paradise. i can actually imagine your surroundings, even though i have never been there. my imagination has lots of elements from the beach scenes of Thailand and India and Indonesia, where backpackers hang out and create their own cultures of sort, except that the language and the music heard on the background must be different.
enjoy your explorations!
much love.
wow, sounds awesome. i wanna come!!!
