June 29, 2011 Happy Day

Hola, All! Yesterday we had the pleasure of riding in the very back of a very crowded van with several young men from Canada. They were quite intertaining! We ate lunch in Antigua at a wonderful restaurante, then made it to Panajachel, where we took a boat to San Marcos. At the dock was a young man who carried both of our bags to our hotel. San Marcos is very tropical, with mostly pathways instead of streets. People love it there because it is very quiet, if you don´t count the dog fights and the roosters who crow whenever it suits them. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel, then sat outside my room and talked for a couple of hours. Hotel Paco Real has a sercurity guard who walks the grounds at night. It has 8 ´hotel rooms´that are actually huts with a downstairs room and an upstairs room. Edna is in a room below me. The rooms have a bed, small table with chair, and a private bathroom. I took a lukewarm shower last night, but Edna figured out how to get hot water..........by barely turning the faucet, hotter water comes out, but also less pressure.........oh well, it beats a cold shower!
This morning we explored part of the town, finding the meditation center, which we plan to visit tomorrow. Also, I talked with Stephanie who is going to give us a lesson about Reike, an energy healing technique. We then hopped on a boat to San Pedro where there is a festival celebrating St. Peter. It was quite the sight and very loud, as someone feels the need to continually set off firecrackers. We are headed to San Juan next to visit JoAn and Molly at the medical clinic that I helped build in 2008.
Will write more later!
Happy Day!
