Well not really, but we were pretty active today, a nice switch from lazing around in the sun, as enjoyable as that was. Today we hiked from Santa Cruz, where we are staying to San Marcos, where we are not. It did take about three hours, and was a nice mix of hard uphill, slippery downhill, rock scrambling, and flat trail. There were points where it felt exactly like hiking in the East Bay with tall brown grasses. Pretty much the whole time we had a wonderful view of the volcano ringed lake. It was sunny and sparkly, and from where we were we could see boats and towns and random crops high up on the hills. It was lovely, although more often than not one of us would trip while trying to both walk and take in the view.
I did not have my aura read in San Marcos. Instead we got lunch (tofu and cheese sandwhich, who would have thought...) and then headed to the shore. We rented kayaks and paddled around the edge of the lake. We swam right off of the kayaks, which seemed like a great idea until it was time to get back in. Leah pulls herself up onto the kayak, Leah falls headfirst into the water. Adventures in clumsiness, I suppose. On our way back two of my traveling companions hollered at a naked guy bathing on the shore, and of course we met up with him not five minutes later. Adventures in something...
Tonight we´re checking out a different hotel for dinner, and tomorrow we´re going to go check out a different town on the lake. Becky leaves from there, and then we take off for Xela.

You have faithfully kept posting on your blog and the readers, alas, are less faithful about commenting.
The previous commenter was surely referring to me.
I want to hear more about this naked person! Did you have dinner with him? Did you buy him some clothes for dessert?
Do you have any pictures of a volcano ringed lake? Hard for me to picture. -M.
