My life be like: It is SO good.

  We've reached the two week mark. I am so sad that we only have two weeks left, but so grateful for all the wonderful experiences and memories we've all had so far. We just finished our spanish classes last friday and it's been so great to see how much we've learned so far. It was also sad to say goodbye to our maestras, but we all had an awesome lunch and then gave all of them small thank you gifts. I think they liked them. :)
  Right after lunch we jetted to Atitlan hoping to squeeze in some activities into the day. Unfortunately it was raining, so we just checked into our lovely hotel in San Pedro instead and had dinner at this super cool Israeli restaurant. not too shabs. After dinner we headed back to the hotel because we knew we had an early morning ahead of us. Luckily, the hotel had an awesome rooftop terrace with hammocks and a gorgeous view of the lake at night so we talked and sang songs and it was wonderful.
  The next morning, our group got up at 5:30 am to hike up Volcan San Pedro. It was a killer hike, but so worth it. It was such a wonderful feeling to get to the top of 9000ft. The view was cloudy at times but still amazing! After the hike we quickly cleaned up and headed over to Panajachel to find a hot tub/sauna to relieve our sore muscles. We probably walked to at least 4 or 5 places to find the perfect one that would fit all 9 of us, but we found it. :) After that we headed out and experienced the night life in Panajachel.
  We were all pretty sore the next day, so we decided to nix our bike ride around the lake. Instead we headed back to San Pedro and went on a horseback ride near the lake. or should I say gallop ride. It was probs one of the best rides I've been on. After the ride we headed out to rent kayaks and we started going out to cross the lake when we heard thunder. Before we knew it, it started to rain and I mean monsoon, so we all headed back to the shore soaked in all our clothes. It was like a scene out of a movie really.
  This past weekend in Atitlan was one of the funnest ever. I am in love with Lago Atitlan and can't wait to go back soon. Weekend trips are always really awesome and hard to leave, but we start clinic work this week so I am really looking forward to that.
Until next time. Hope you all are great!
   Grace and Peace
