joycemaynard.com - Around the World - In Guatemala, Bliss by a Blue Lake The climate remains almost ceaselessly ideal (picture San Diego), with virtually no rain from early November to around April, and even at the height of the rainy season, in June and September, nearly daily sunshine alternating with the periodic downpours. San Marcos is a good spot to study Spanish, with several teachers -- all native speakers -- offering terrific one on one instruction, easily arranged through the restaurant/hotel La Paz, at a rate of around $3 an hour, and I always try to sign up for classes when I’m in town. San Pedro, a 10-minute boat ride from San Marcos (or a hair-raising but spectacular ride of 30 minutes -- always readily available -- in the back of a pickup truck) is larger, busier, and offers a far greater variety of restaurants and night life. www.joycemaynard.com /columns-articles/around-the-world-bliss-by-a-blue-lake.shtml   (1966 words)

Remote respite | The San Diego Union-Tribune San Marcos, one of the villages around the lake, has become known as a center for healing arts. San Pedro, a 10-minute boat ride from San Marcos (or a hair-raising but spectacular ride of 30 minutes – always readily available – in the back of a pickup truck) is larger, busier and offers a far greater variety of restaurants and night life. San Marcos remains the ideal base for exploration of Lake Atitlan – not to mention exploration of one's own interior life – and options exist, with romantic and beautiful accommodations for under $25 a night, with even the top-end rooms no more than $10 more than that. www.signonsandiego.com /uniontrib/20050522/news_lz1t22guatama.html   (1831 words)

Searching the Pyramids in Lago Atitlan Guatemala The nearest village is Santa Cruz La Laguna, about an hours walk or 5 minute boat ride away (just flag one down at the dock).

Table of Contents and Excerpt, Garzon et al., The Life of Our Language Brown's study of San Antonio Aguas Calientes, presented in Chapter 5, actually deals with four communities in the Quinizilapa Valley: San Antonio, two villages, and an adjacent town, which are experiencing different levels and rates of language shift. San Antonio has been closely associated with Spanish society since colonial times, and Brown examines the strategies employed by Mayas to survive in the shadow of Ladino society. I discuss the course of shift from Kaqchikel to Spanish in San Marcos, San Antonio, and Comalapa, focusing on the replacement of Kaqchikel by Spanish in Mayan homes and public contexts and looking at the role this shift has played in an ongoing transformation of attitudes and values within the community, especially among young people. www.utexas.edu /utpress/excerpts/exgarlif.html   (2988 words)

Plenty for your inner self in Panajachel - The Boston Globe San Marcos is not so much a town as a conglomeration of restaurants and hotels that has a range of price options but feels upscale. San Pedro is a small, scruffy place, more downscale than San Marcos and without the hustle of Panajachel. The touristy beachhead where boats land is a handful of restaurants and stores, along with tables and blankets on the ground selling the usual array of crystals, beads, and leather. www.boston.com /travel/articles/2006/08/13/plenty_for_your_inner_self_in_panajachel   (1194 words)

…a nomadic travel along the americas » Blog Archive » San Pedro La Laguna San Pedro La Laguna is a peaceful village, where the travellers looking for a pause, mingle with the curious and receiving local population, belonging to the Cakchiquel (Kaq’chiquel) ethnic group. Just a few years ago, San Pedro was an isolated place, whose inhabitants dedicated themselves to fishing and agriculture, selling their products in the neighbouring villages (Panajachel, San Juan, San Marcos La laguna). San Pedro gives off a charming atmosphere: a maze of pebbly paths, the hush of the night, the starred sky, the small nightspots and the evenings in company with some good friends.

San Marcos La Laguna After two and a half hours of early morning travel on a microbus, Pullman, and three pickup trucks we arrived in San Marcos la Laguna, one of the twelve towns on the edge of Lake Atitlan, truly the most beautiful lake in as much of the world as I have seen.
