hike cancelled

heavy rains cancelled my hike yesterday, probably for the better. we would have had to cross a river neck deep, and the trail could have been wiped out. so went out to dinner with some guys from the hostel last night, and took some buses to lake atitlan for the weekend. navigating the roads was quite difficult, a few mudslides put the country´s bulldozers into action. weather cleared up today, though. aldous huxley once called the lake his favorite place in the world, but this is coming from a guy who asked to be fed lsd intravenously on his deathbed. a belgian couple on the bus suggested a neat little place called la iguana perdida in santa cruz (15min boat ride from panahachel, the largest town on the lake). probably gonna make it to chichicastenango tomorrow, for the famous sunday market.
