We returned last night from Guatemala; a few things about that –
1.) Lago Atitlán easily ranks as one of the more amazing places I've ever been. Hard to make words do it, but: big, very clear lake, ringed around by very steep, jungled mountainside and 3 volcanoes. The best part of the whole trip may have been just the lanchas, the water-buses that run regularly between the lakeside towns, and from which we could watch the lake and awesome shore/mountain roll by.
2.) Antigua is nice. But I am happy to say that it isn't as nice as our new home, San Cristóbal. I'm a little proud of our city for that.
3.) Back to the lake: did you know that you could take a month-long course, including instruction in meditation, metaphysics, and (best of all) astral travel, in one of the lakeside communities? Of course you did! You astral travelers, you.

And here I am studying metaphysics at MIT, when I could be studying metaphysics on the shore of Lago Atitlán . . .
Our sentiments exactly.
wow, awesome picture at the top there! and by the way, i love the pictures from the other recent posts - the mechanical bugs and the chicken with cat. do those two really cuddle like that? ridiculous!
Xmis (the cat) doesn't snuggle the chickens much anymore. He's big enough that he's not really looking for a mother figure. He does do some really nice cuddling in the basket of dried corn, though.
