San Marcos Lake Atitlan, Guatemala










On a recent weekend trip to Lake Atitlan, the boys were inspired to make flower arrangements and take lots of photos. The construction of the local houses were of particular interest as they used everything from plastic soda bottles filled with old plastic bags to this beautiful construction of glass bottles set in bamboo chinked with mud, then painted reddish with clay. Absolutely gorgeous! All of these photos are from Ryder or Phelan except the one of the boat with a volcano in the background. The lake had three volcanoes around it. So, we have felt MANY earthquakes while here. Small tremblers and there is always ash on the ground. No one seems phased by it.
