Sunday: Went back to Panajachel in the morning. I walked around the town and was stunned by the tourism! There were only shops and pubs here...According to LP this is one of the oldest tourist spots in Guatemala. The hippies settled down here in the 60's and the town still have some of that hippie-feeling...Apparently San Pedro(another village by the lake) hosts the hippie-scene today and you can easily spot indigenous people raving around... Oh, other people living around the lake are some norwegians...one of them is one of the richest people in Norway (also gay), and in his 40's...apparently he posed nude for Playboy (if I didn't get that completely wrong!!!).. The other one, a young male model who works in NY and then there's a 'normal' family as well...They've been here for years, all living close to Santa Cruz... Came to Antigua in the evening and the rain was pouring down! The Yellow House was full so I got myself a nice hotel with hot water and cable TV instead! How fantastic isn't it with Friends-marathon in spanish????
Monday:Tried to sort out all my administrative stuff! My planeticket is ok now, 31 of august from Rio...Think I have to sort out my ticket from Panama to Brazil later... I went to the marked to buy some gifts but ended up looking for a new watch instead. When I found one, it started to rain and I waited for it to stop! I didn't! No gifts and I tried to walk home but the rain was pouring down and the streets were flooded! I've never seen so much water in the streets...At the end I just had to take off my shoes and cross the street-river...I was soaking wet and it poured down all night as well!!!!
