Saturday in Flores

Pleasure Cruise

This past weekend we traveled as a group to Flores and Tikal in Guatemala. On Saturday, we arrived in Flores in time to eat lunch with our small groups. After that we dispersed and a mad shopping frenzy commenced. Once most people had enjoyed wandering the circular streets, playing basketball, or doing some damage to their bank accounts we all piled into little boats and were ferried across Lago Peten Itza. We reached the opposite shore in a small village called San Miguel, where we stayed at Casa Zapote, a guesthouse with a lot of character. We enjoyed the incredible view of the sunset over the lake, fabulous food, and a talk about Guatemalan history and culture from our host Sylvia. Many went back into Flores, when the town came alive in the cool of the evening and when every family member seemed to be out to play.
