In February of 2009, John and I took a two week trip to Guatemala. It was the first time we traveled together (we’d been dating for about 6 months), and the first time I’d been to Central America without staying at a nice resort or hotel.
During our two week stay we rode bikes through the cobblestone streets of Antigua, took a cooking class, climbed an active volcano, visited a yoga and meditation retreat, kayaked and swam in the lake, and took a Reiki I course. It was spectacular. (See a couple photos from our first trip here.) When we left, we vowed we would one day return to Lake Atitlan for a longer stay.
Two days ago, we lived up to that vow. Much has changed since the last time we visited San Marcos, but everything we loved is still the same. We’ve set ourselves up in a fantastic apartment right on the lake with a wall of windows that opens up to a gorgeous panoramic view, and a hammock in the living room (the photo above is part of the view from our window.) We’re already thrilled to be back in a familiar place, particularly one that has so much to offer.
Guatemala is the only country that John and I have previously visited together which gets rerun status during World Tour. (There are a couple of countries on our tour list that we have each visited separately before – Mexico, Belize, and many places in Europe – but none that we’d visited together.) What can I say – some things are just worth repeating.

Hi Tracy. Glad to hear your are doing well. Looks beautiful.
