We returned to Guatemala last Wednesday and spent the next day doing a little sightseeing around Guatemala City. We visited two museums: Museo Ixchel and Museo Popol Vuh. Ixchel is dedicated to the indigenous textiles of Guatemala and contains many beautiful examples of the richly colorful garments worn by the Mayan people. These are especially prevalent in the highlands and hopefully I can post some pictures of these when we visit Antigua and Lago Atitlan next week. The other museum contains many Mayan artifacts dating back more than 2000 years.
Last Friday we returned to the marina where will will stay until Sunday when we travel to Antigua for a week's stay at spanish school. Antigua is reported to be lovely and we are looking forward to our stay there. Then to the highland village of Chichicastenango for the Sunday market and then on to Lake Atitlan.
More to follow next week.
