I’m now in a town called San Pedro la Laguna… which is on the shore of Lago de Atitlan… “the most beautiful lake in the world” if the locals will have anything to say about it… and who can argue… I haven’t had a clear day to take a picture fully showing how beautiful the lake really is yet… but I do have some pictures from around sunset that I’ll post along with this entry…
I’ve somehow got it in my head that I want to work on a farm this summer… specifically an organic farm… and I e-mailed 3 farms in the Riverhead area and one has already gotten back to me with a promising response… so I’m really excited about that… even if the pay is really bad, at least I won’t be doing something I hate just for the sake of money… not that I’m not going to need as much as I can get when I get back… but still…
Before I left Xela to come here, I visited the Natural History Museum… which is really, really creepy… the room with all the dead stuff most of all… I got some pictures even though I kept getting yelled at by the old man watching the place for taking them… I just couldn’t miss out on pictures of things like the Devil of the Sea… a creature which surely does not and has not ever actually existed… alongside specimens such as a stuffed pair of piglet twins who share one head… and a stuffed dog… adequately labeled “Chow Chow"… the most disturbing of all, however, is a human fetus in a jar… which I actually think IS real… Pictures of all these wonderful things can be found below…
I also climbed up to a vegetarian restaurant on a hill overlooking the city… I’ve included a couple pictures from that trek, as well as a picture from my hotel balcony showing the house where I stayed while I was studying Spanish last time I was down here…
That’s all for now… Back to my heavy relaxation and the aruduous task of volcano-watching and tofu-eating…

just a quick hello and let you know i am thinking and worrying about you. it must feel good to know your way around the place where you have already spent a lot of time in the past. i quess it has it’s advantages , but the exploration of the unknown has to be thrilling. jamie left yoy a message under the one where you shaved. i don’t know if you checked it. well time for a shower and early to bed, i’m tired. be safe and enjoy the second half of the journey. love dad
