Wow. It's my first time at Atitlán and I already don't want to leave. There is beauty EVERYWHERE I look. It's such a different environment from the city. The hotel it is so simple and have a sense of familiarity. Almost everything is made by the women here, like the honey, yogurt, pizza sauces, and have the best home made taste.
Today we started reading Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, we discussed it for a bit and found out that he was a self learner since the age of 10. Something I learned from him is that we are in the period were we do things for ourselves. Bert commented that Franklin and Twain had a parallel, they both worked in a printer setting the types, so they might become keen observers of the american language and became who they are thanks to that.

- In order to read the autobiography we had to look for a quiet environment to read, that believe me it was not hard at all, we were surrounded by so much nature and quiet little places that we would be dumb to stay in a closed room.
- Also try to read with a partner that will often give you feedback and will help you keep concentrated.
