11 Oktober 2006 | Guatemala, San Pedro
After another busy week of giving and taking classes and making new, meeting old (Frank from Mexico) and saying goodbye to old friends (Salsa Marlies), Chris and I decided to go to San Pedro, next to lake Atitlan. Also to visit Arjan, an old fraternity brother of me.
We were about to took a ´Chicken Bus´ (an old school bus from the states that serves as the local transportation of about anything) but since both he and I were a little late... we took the shuttle.
On arrival in Panajachel we get to met the Lake... I is huge!!! After that we had to take a kinda speed boat to get to San P. It was 20 min. high speeding on the lake what was pretty cool!!!
San P. is one amazing village, what felt more like an island. There are hardly any roads and the main stret is called the main trail, which can be taken litterly. Walking throught the ´jungle´ and the cornfields we tryed to look for some accomodation.
I had forgotten to inform Arjan of our coming until that day through an email. Well, we´ll find him!!!
Our firts night we spend with some Argtentinian and a Iraelian guys, playing cards in the rain, it felt just like home!!!
Here we met Dave, he introduced himself accordingly: ´Hi, I´m Dave, you wanna buy a big bag of Skunk wed? I sell weed, if you need some just give me a holler!!!´ Next to the space cake on the menu(!) you get an image what the athmosphere is over there!!!
The next day we went for a swim in the lake after hich we accedently run into Arjan. He lived just a blok away and had spend the night before in the same bar, just 10 mts away!!!
We had a great last night and decided to hook up next week in Antigua... to be conmtinued!!!
After an early morning a long trip, with a crazy driver we started our classes on Monday...
Next time more!!!

Mom:
de hele dag op je gat zitten of in de zon liggen bakken, hoezo ben je een beetje vermoeid? Ik kan me er bij jou niks bij voorstellen ........
Nou, vent, je maakt dus weer een boel mee, geweldig. Probeer ook een beetje aan je 'rust' te denken, dan is je moeder ook weer een beetje gerust. Ik weet dat dit moeilijk voor je is, maar doe het toch maar. Denk maar aan onze dagen in de boshut, da's goed for you! Doen! KISS van Mom.
