Last weekend I took Abi to Lake Atitlan. It´s one of my favourite places
in Guatemala. We had a purpose for the visit - as we went to see a
church who will soon be receiving a Step team, but we also had chance to
chill out and enjoy the views.

One day we climbed up to the Cerro de la Cruz, for a great view over the lake.
It was a beautiful day with the sun shining on the coffee plants!

It was also great to visit the church. They are really looking forward to recieving the Step team. My friend Dr Israel Hernandez, of Ami San Lucas was preaching that week.
It´s a small village up in the mountains where everyone is indigenous and all the women wear traditional dress. (I noticed that there was also a hat stand at the back of church - to keep your cowboy hat safe!)
I love staying in San Pedro La Laguna. I always stay in a little hostel right on the edge of the Lake - so that I can go for a swim as soon as I get up!. But it´s very basic - we paid Q25 (2quid) per night each. A bit of a difference from my next trip...... in my next blog!
