We enjoyed sleeping in a little this morning and then having a nice breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast, we took a walk down to the boat launch and enjoyed a nice boat ride across Lake Atitilan over to Santiago. We had some team time near the lake in a pavilion and then had lunch at the Posada. It was a traditional fajita meal with corn tortillas, beans, chicken and beef. The meals were designed with adding to your own taste/tolerance of pain, spice or heat, however you may term the burning sensation in your mouth.
After lunch we took tuk-tuk's back into town and did a little more negotiating for goods with the local merchants. Some of the merchants were very aggressive and followed us down the street, relentlessly at times, to try and get us to accept an offer for their goods.
We then took the boat ride back to Panajachel and spent some time relaxing in a pool or resting on a recliner chair basting in the warm afternoon sun by the pool.
Of course, all this exhaustion led to an evening fish dinner at the hotel. After the evening meal, some of the team members went down the street for more shopping or just taking in the sites. We did spend some time at the local coffee shops reflecting on the mission trip and what each of us experienced and how it has changed our world views.
Dios Bendiga!
