Rains in Panajachel, Guatemala

Rain, Rain and more Rain

We arrived here in Panajachel on Monday night, having come the "back way" because the main road from Sololá to Panajachel was washed out.  Fog, potholes, landslides and rain made the back road challenging and scarey at times.
Yesterday, we ate breakfast at Casa Del Mundo (notice how high the water is...over 18 feet higher than normal).  Delicious!  Then we had lunch with the Foote family. What a sweet family. 



We had to introduce Jeff and Kathy to Mike at CrossRoads Café in Panajachel.  Jeff loves Coffee, so this was special. The coffee was only "outdone" by the entertainment. :)


All day today it CONTINUED to rain.  We have had a fire going in the fireplace.  We hear dynamite blasts off in the distance where they're working on reconstructing the road between Sololá and Panajachel.
We don't know what the road conditions will be like tomorrow, but hopefully, we'll be able to get out.
