Scenes in Panajachel

In the small village of Panajachel, situated on the banks of the famous Lake Atitlan, there are several modes of transportation. Our most favorite one is taking a 10q (equavalent to just over 1.00 US dollar) ride on the Tuk Tuk. These remind me so much of Thailand. But it is a cheap and fast way to get around town. Or you can walk.

We see ladies walking through the street with their "goods" on top of their head. And sometimes, they have a child strapped to their back. How do they do that? These ladies as they walk, yell out in English, "madame, I give you a good price! Buy from me". They're selling their colorful blankets and goods to the many tourists that walk up and down Santander Blvd.
