Jan. 22 – Guatemala
Thursday, January 26th, 2006Day 174 – Lago de Atitlan was a beautiful drive and a gorgeous lake. We stayed in the main town of Panajachel, which is lined with vendors selling any item a tourist could want. Plus it is full of restaurants and bars. It was hard not to buy any woven items or jewelry. The area is stunning, with the lake right at the base of two major volcanoes.

We found decent, cheap accommodation right on the edge of the main strip where we could securely park the car. We didn’t go to any of the other towns around the lake, though I read it is the best way to fully appreciate the elegance of the area.
