Lake Atitlan is incredibly beautiful.  Like someone in our group said, it feels like a slightly smaller Lake Titicaca.  Peaceful, serene, with majestic mountains and volcanoes (pleasantly silent) surrounding it.  I loved it.  I wanted to stay here much longer just to hang out and look out at the Lake every day.

Sunrise on Lake Atitlan, seen from the HOTEL ATITLAN

The morning the group went to the Chichicastenango Market I decided to wake up early and photograph the sunrise on the Lake.  I asked the front desk to give me a wake up call.  Unfortunately, they called the room next to me, waking up poor Frank and Astri.  Fortunately, I heard the call and woke up in time to photograph the sunrise.  Astri and Frank, I hope that these photos are worth that early morning wake up call!
