View overlooking the lake as we leave Panajachel for the 3 hour drive (versus 20 minute boat ride) to San Marcos, a pedestrian-only village along the lake.

Don is up early (guy is outside the window is chopping down a tree with a machete) so he snatches my camera for an early morning shot of a fisherman on the lake.

This is Bungalow #8 right alongside the lake at Posada Schumann, San Marcos

Side view of the bungalow -- Don took the upstairs, and I got the downstairs w/bathroom. It also had a small kitchen.

Don goes to get jackets, as outdoor breakfast tables are a bit chilly

Even to someone who is not a coffee drinker, the Guatemalan brew is too good to pass up.

Enjoying as much of the warm sun as I can, and reminding myself it is a cold February back home!

Kayaking is popular on the lake, especially in the mornings when it is calm before the winds pick up.

We take a boat trip to find the highly marketed "Aguas Termales," or hot springs.

Local boat dock along the commuter route.

In the morning on the way over, the sun is out and the water is calm, so it is a smooth ride.
