Newfoundland Iceberg Trip

At dinner, May 25, we heard that icebergs could be seen from near the the lighthouse in Twillingate. We drove there and were excited to see our first icebergs from a distance. 

Today, May 26, we went in a zodiac to get a closer look. It was phenomenal!!!

Santiago Atitlan Final Week

We stayed in beautiful Casa Tucan at Posada de Santiago.

Many views of Lago Atitlan and Volcan San Pedro:

                I love the rag rug by our bed

         Women washing laundry in the lake

Check this out: Richard found this coat in a paca heap. Paca translates as bale, because the vendors buy bales of clothing from Canada and USA. This coat is Calvin Klein, tags still on, angora and wool, my size, my colour. 10Q = $1.79CAD!!!

            Gorgeous embroidery on our wall.

                           In the church

                 Traditional fishing boats

I went on a rather challenging quetzal hike, and saw quetzales!!

There is a wonderful elementary school just up the road from our accommodations. I arranged a visit on assembly day. This month the grade sixes were in charge of the assembly with a theme of friendship. They did a grade job. 

                 Drying coffee beans

        We saw a few of these flat-bottomed.                 beehives

Back in Antigua, a girl all dressed up for her 15th birthday. This is a big deal. 

And then we flew home.
