San Pedro La Laguna was the location for our much-needed Spanish course. While we could already order "dos cervezas por favor", we felt we needed just a little more. Now we can converse and banter with locals and tell chancers to "go way and rightly shag off" if we know they're ripping us off.We spent the 10 days with a family (the Gonzalez-Ramirez's, don't y'know... from up the hill in Zone 2). They were unbelievably welcoming and helpful to us in our quest to learn the auld Español. We ended up going to a graduation for Rebecca (1 of 3 sisters), who was graduation from teacher training college.
Between classes and homely meals, we managed to find time to enjoy the beatiful volcanic lake (Lago de Atitlan). This photo of Fi out on a kayak gives just a taste of how stunning it really is.Having to leave San Pedro was a weird feeling for us. We really have made it home for the past few weeks and had an amazing family taking care of us. Not only was it traumatic to say Adios to our family, but its also hasta luego to Al, who is off to El Salvador and Honduras while we stay here in Guat and Belize. "See ya soon buddy!"
