Day 66 – Santiago de Atitlan, GU to Antigua, GU 10/26/10 Mileage: 106
The weather this morning was great and we had a nice breakfast on the patio overlooking the lake.

...and Tracy too.
After letting breakfast settle we took the hotels’ kayak for a quick spin which was good fun and provided spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains.
Kayaking on Lake Atitlan...
A nice setting to kayak for sure...

Once the bike was packed, we rode over to Panajachel on the other side of the lake where we had a great lunch.

We took a quick spin around town before heading for our final destination today…Antigua, which is a cool Spanish colonial town. It took around two hours to get there and we pulled into town shortly before dark.
Antigua, Guatemala...
The Casa Florencia, our home base in Antigua...
After finding a room we set off to have dinner and settled on a place right on the town square called Chimino’s.

It was a fantastic dinner in a great setting complete with a very talented acoustic guitarist playing some Latin songs. Afterwards we walked around a bit more and capped off the night with desert and a glass of port.

The pictures and writing is great!!!!! Enjoy your day off tomorrow, Monday. We had a really nice time trick or treating up by Danna and Dave’s. Maya really enjoyed it and Raquel even went to a few houses and we couldn’t get her back into the stroller. I am pooped tonight from the walking.
Be well and be happy. Love ya, Mom
