| The view from our drink spot at Loma de Tzununá of Volcan San Pedro and Lake Atitlan |
Samuel recommended a great hike along the lake. So early Sunday, we boated to the town of Santa Cruz and started hiking the 3 or so hours back to San Marcos. An older gringo told us to watch out for robberies which put us a little on edge, but at that point we were already set on going. The trail was easy to follow though we did end up getting lost in a cemetery trying to find a drink stop.
The views were fabulous though slightly hazy because of yesterday's eruption of Volcán de Fuego about 40 miles away. We also stumbled upon a group of male folk dancers, of all ages, performing in the gym in San Marcos while the local women and kids watched and played.
Upon returning, Mark finally was able to wear his one collared shirt and we went to church with Alejandra (her second time today). I haven't been in many evangelical churches but I imagine the singing, scripture readings, sermons and praying are pretty universal. However, the differences probably included when the roof started leaking on the drums from the heavy rain, Pastor Lorenzo mixing in Tzu'thuhil in his sermon and the adorable kids belting out Spanish hymnals. Two hours later, Midori, Mark and I visited our friend JC from last week's JC'S BBQ and swapped jokes over enchiladas.
