Here are some more pictures around Guatemala and Panajachel, which I got from the Cooneys. The pictures go back a ways, but they were great photos, so I wanted to share!
 |
| Cooneys and Perez on a high scenic overlook (somewhere!) |
 |
| Beautiful sky |
 |
Donkey or horse on an unusually good
road in Guatemala! |
 |
| Another beautiful sky |
 |
| Kingdom Hall build, all volunteer labor! |
 |
| Mark Cooney welding at a Kingdom Hall build near Pana. |
 |
Alison got to shovel gravel at the KH build. From the pile on
the left, to the pile on the right. Backbreaking! But what
a good sport! |
 |
| Women carrying vases on their heads! |
 |
| What a view! |
 |
| Some interesting leafy-looking insect! |
 |
| Pioneer meeting photo |
 |
I think this was the group that climbed the San Pedro volcano.
They got up very early and went across the lake when it
was still dark, so they could start early climbing! |
 |
Shortly after Cooneys got here - from left: Andy Burns, Doris
Waters, me and Bill, Colin Thompson, Rachel Hamilton and
Alison Cooney. Mark is behind the camera! |
 |
| Narrow callejon, or alley. The tuk-tuk can fit - but barely! |
 |
| A view from atop San Pedro |
 |
| Another from atop San Pedro volcano |
 |
| a common butterfly here. |
 |
The goat man. He herds his goats through town, ringing a
bell, and you can ask for FRESH goat milk! |
 |
| A hummingbird on flowers by the dock. |
 |
This is a sweet older lady who sells here. She speaks with
difficulty (a stroke?) and mostly Kakquichel but some Spanish.
Very persistent and friendly salesperson! |
 |
Shannon Breneman, Natalie Perez and Alison Cooney with
a local version of 'fast food' drinks! It's a smoothie in a
plastic bag! |
 |
What a view!
|
 |
| Chris and Colin from Scotland, in their kilts. |
 |
| A get-together |
 |
The riverbed here. A few years ago, a hurricane caused torrential
rain and terrible flooding, and many houses were washed
away (some with occupants). They have been working on the riverbed
to make it less dangerous - but now we have basically a gravel
pit that locals go to as their personal gravel source. Click
here to learn more about the hurricanes and the riverbed. |
 |
The street behind our house. You can see the cobble-
stones - hard to walk on without difficulty. Tiring. |
 |
| A sign on a coffeeshop here! |
There are more pictures, but I'll publish this one for now!
