Anyhoo, we left San Marcos and cruised past all of the beautiful lake houses on the way to a couple other villages (San Juan and some other San). We got out at San Pedro to have a look around. It is quite a backpackers hangout with lots of Spanish Schools and cheap places to stay. Lena picked up a glass pipe and asked what it was...I guess we should be happy our first conversation about drugs is here, and not after finding said pipe in her room!! It was really steep walking around, over very uneven cobblestone with a sleeping baby thrown over my shoulders, so we didn’t stay too long.
Every day from around 2~3 there is a really strong wind on the lake called Xocomil and it comes every day at exactly the same time. Sure enough, right around 2 it started to get stormy so the boat dropped us off right in front of our hotel instead of in town. Then we asked to have the hot tub fired up. I wasn’t sure they were going to heat it up because Jason had just turned off a hose going into the hot tub and caused a huge watershed in one of the pool buildings!!! Geez Jason.... Luckily, they did and we were all boiling in a short while.
After all that hot water everyone was ready for bed. The boy fell asleep right at dinner time ... yeah, no screaming in the restaurant! Tomorrow is market day in Santiago, so we are going to check that out.
Adios for now...
