I went on a hike between villages today with a group from the school. We stopped for a while in a park where a lot of people went for a swim. Saw a van with Oregon plates!

There are dozens of these shops all around, full of beautiful hand woven scarves, shawls, tablecloths, etc. They are made with cotton dyed with natural dyes from plants.

Went on a hike today organized by the school to a mountain called Indian's Nose. Fantastic views of the lake from up top.
Sharron Mathans I have a catalog from Lindblad/Natl. Geo. expeditions with a trip from Belize to Guatemala City, mentioning another lake in G. where Mayan ruins are found, Yaxha Lake.
