View from our balcony at Casa del Mundo
After saying goodbye to Melissa, Carrie and I made our way to Lago Atitlan, a beautiful lake in the middle of the country. Our first stop was Casa del Mundo, a gorgeous mini-resort that our guidebook referred to as "the most magical place in all of Guatemala." For a mere $25 per night we got a beautiful room overlooking the lake, four volcanoes and a dozen other towns. During the day we relaxed, swam and hung out in a hot tub that as heated by burning wood. Normally it required a day's notice and hefty fee to use, but being the friendly people that we are we managed to spend both nights getting to know new friends in the hot tub. The place was honestly so amazing that we recommend it to anyone looking for a nice few day getaway. Not to mention, the chill town of San Pedro and the yoga/meditation/hippie village of San Marcos are a short boat ride away. See more photos at Adventures of a GoodMan
