Lake Atitlan Stories

I went to the market in Solola to visit the paca (the paca is used clothing from the US or other countries). Solola is up in the mountains on the rim above Lake Atitlan, you can see Lake Atitlan from many parts of town.

In this first picture the lady is giving me the “gringo with a camera” look. You can see the piles of clothing and bargain clothing shoppers.

Here we have the back view of the “gringo with a camera” lady and more shoppers.

There were a few soldiers in the main central park, chillin with their rifles.

Here is a good example of women in traditional and men in modern dress. This is usually what you see around Lake Atitlan.

Another market shot, string is easy to find in Guatemala.

This kind of stuff is all over Lake Atitlan, I always have to stop and look when I see a stand with this many belts.

The ride home on the chicken bus can seem a little blurry up front.
