Lake Atitlan from a Different Perspective

After arriving at Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala, Wayne, Jim and Gene took a tour to Lake Atitlan.  It is a lake that many have called “the most beautiful lake in the world.”  The lake was formed in a volcanic crater and it is surrounded by three Magnificent volcanoes:  Atitlan, San Pedro and Toliman.  Here is a view from the lake.

Here is a lighthouse on one of the points on the lake.

On their way back there was no air-conditioning on the bus which made for a less than nice ride.

After dinner we all went to see Mark Nizer who is a comedic juggler.  He could really juggle.  Then off to bed for two tired travelers.
