Today sturday was the day for lake atitlan. We went across the lake to visit Santiago Atitlan and San Juan. Santigao ,our first stop we got to see women in their trafitional clothing and men working with the foot pedal. Qe also visited the every day street market, and the church. Our main stop was to learn about Maximon, a statue as an idol , wooden made, covered with neckties.and cigar and alcohol. Our drive continued with a swin at the lake between the villages and every one enjoyed the moment. At san juan the next village, we all learned about processing cotton, spining, and how to prepare the thread before it goes into the loom. On our way back to the hotel we got the rain on our return but finally it all ended up going well in spite of weather conditions.
