Leaving Lake Atilan and
Returning to Antigua
We were all packed, breakfasted and ready to leave our hotel at a
quarter past nine for the launch to Panachel, where Raoul (our minibus driver)
was there to meet us for the journey back to Antigua. We soon left the lakeside
and rose steeply for our final view of the lake and the three green blocks of flats we had walked behind
yesterday.
Raoul stopped at the waterfall, so tall
I could only get Bear in the bottom half
Across the road we saw the
waterfall continue on its way down to the lake.
Time for a group picture and a final look at the
Senile Seven
Back through villages and towns we had
seen on Sunday and a group of newly towed in school
buses
Raoul dropped us outside school. We bade farewell to the Senile
Seven. Lord and Lady Mac fly out to Houston in the morning to visit family
before going on a road trip to Yosemite on their motorbike. The others are
returning to the Rio Dulce to rejoin their boats before home visits to South
Africa. We bimbled in to school to be given a massive welcome. We sat and filled
in our forms. Gulp. We are committed. Double Gulp. No school on Saturday, evening meal
here every Thursday and lunch on Tuesday. The rest of our food will be provided
by our host family except Sundays when we do our own thing. Mmm Roast Beef down the road. Yes after study.
Treble Gulp. Claudia and the others bade us
have a good day, paid for our taxi home and looked forward to seeing us bright
and early at eight in the morning. Off we went with a Spanish Verb Tenses Book
each under our arms and a notebook. Mucho
Gulps.
ALL IN ALL BRING ON THE VERBS
LOTS OF
GULPS.....AR.........ER.........IR
