Lancha Adventure

San Juan and San Pedro are two little towns along Lake Atitlan. Although not the largest, they are much bigger than where Free Cerveza is located, and so we decided to take the Lancha across the lake to see them. Lanchas are basically water taxis that run all around the lake, taking you to the different little spots. They are fun and really cool. We got picked up around 11 am and began our boat trip to San Juan. When we arrived, we were greeted along the dock into an adorable shopping area. We wandered around the town for quite a while and were blown away by the amount of effort they have gone to to make the town beautiful and vibrant. It was incredible. We even stumbled across some ancient Mayan sport that was as confusing as it looks in the video. After a while, we sat down for some chicken fajitas with an amazing view before continuing to San Pedro. San Pedro was a bit less exciting but still cool to wander through. We spent a bit of time here before catching the lancha back to the hostel. As it was afternoon, the lake was considerably choppier, and so the ride was far less smooth. Nonetheless, we made it back just in time for free beer. Even though last night was big, and although I was supposed to take it easy tonight, after a few games of fuck the bus, I was very drunk. We had a lot of fun playing card games and drinking.Read more
