so i went to lake atitlan this weekend. it's truly gorgeous. according to the mayan legends it was one of the first four corners of the world. first i went to panajachel, this touristy place that makes me think that's what cuba will look like when castro finally dies. but then it was onward to san pedro, a lazy chill beautiful village where hostel owners offer herbal recreationa nda bearded man wanders around selling "space cookies". i went swimming in the lake at night, which was intense, and at dawn, which was glorious, shit i sound like a hippie. then on the way back i got my wallet stolen. thankfully my credit cards and money weren't in it, there was the equivalentof maybe 5 dollars there but all my IDs and my parents' pics were there...as was my debit card...it just sucks it's not like there is anything the thief can use there...whatever...
oh and there are bedbugs, as in creatures from the child's rhyme in my bed. and those fuckers really do bite.
