A district outing to Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala. At one of the bus stops we sampled the fruit. This may have been Solola.
Gary Bullard makes a life-long friend. Keep in mind that Gary was himself very short. In the background is the bus we were riding on.
This unknown elder bought a set of indian clothes and put them on over his own. We had arrived at Panajachel, and were about to board the boat for the trip across Lake Atitlan.
A local Catholic church/cathedral. Every town had an impressive church. I'm not sure where this was.
How could this unidentified elder resist? Such a deal! Now I wish I had bought anything at all. But I'm thirty years too late.
Santiago Atitlan. I've read that all the villages around the lake are now very touristy, and not worth visiting. What a shame.
Santiago was not exactly a bustling metropolis, but it was clean and orderly, with stone fences between houses. Most men were probably out in the fields, and the women stayed indoors.
Back at the boat dock this enterprising woman made a last ditch attempt to sell a head wrap.
