On Easter, we got up before dawn and took a trip to Lake Atitlan. Its about 3 hours from Antigua and is surrounded by mountains on all sides. We stopped once on the way there to grab some breakfast and much to my surprise....it was FREEZING. I huddled next to a wood burning stove and ordered coffee so I could attempt to warm up. We asked our driver to crank up the heat and Tonia even bought a shawl. Its amazing how unprepared we were for cooler weather! Once we reached the lake, we took a boat ride to three of the communities that surround the lake, San Pedro, Santiago, & San Antonio. The villages were all beautiful in their own rights, although the constant heckling from the locals to get us white gyals to buy something got old quite fast. Aside from that, it was wonderful. See for yourself:
