It was weird to return to Xela 30 years after my first visit as I do not usually like to return to cities. And although Xela is a bit rustic, I found the familiarity comfortable. But visiting Lago de Atitlán was almost like discovering a new place, despite a few visits on my first trip to Guatemala and then again with Matthew. My earlier trips included small, not particularly clean hotel rooms without a view. This time Marco drove Logan and me there. No chicken bus. No walking. No searching for an empty room.
It turns out that returning with money provides a totally different experience. I wouldn’t say one was better, but our view this time was really nice.
Loved our rental
