ah...the lake

We had a great night at the lake. It was very relaxing and a nice way to divide the four weeks in Guatemala. Interestingly, Lago de Atitlan is a very "hippy" place. There are a lot of yoga retreat centers and some of the town there are full of "hippy gringos" (as one local put it).

Fortunately, we were able to avoid that scene and stay relaxed in a beautiful plot of paradise for about 30 hours. Hopefully I'll be able to send Becca some pictures later this evening so you all can see where we were. The view across the lake was stunning. There were two huge volcanoes on the horizon, and the sunset was basically right behind one of them.

Now for something completely different...

Just wanted to share with everyone, we've been reading a book called "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller. It's a really great book about faith, written in very plain language. It's very funny and very moving. If you have time we highly recommend it.
