We're catching a shuttle up and a night in a hotel there booked for one night. It's about a 2.5 hour drive up apparently and will leave lots of time to visit Panajachel and surroundings...or so I think. Anyway, it's all the time we have for the viaje porque we're going to la playa on shuttle next day after to where my daughter lives. Couple days there and back for me to Antigua y mi casa. I've been habloing a lot of spanish, I can tell, occasionally to the chagrin of my mi hija. No pics as I don't have a download wire....can't remember everything....or most stuff....

I can' log into TSBB 'cuz I don't have my secret word and won't have a computer after early next week unless I go to internet cafes....which I might do yet. The first of the rest of my fam come down the 12th, then mas on the 18th and we'll be all here for the month. I'll be spending New Year's Eve in Atlanta...in the airport....all night.....whimper...

Ah well, as I told folks the days rained horribly just before I came down and I was riding my bici, just trying to prove now that I'm as tough as I was when I was twelve.
