Today it was a very fun day. Since the sunrise, finally it was a sunny and beautiful day. In difference with the rest of the days that were rainy and very foggy and cold. After working in our handbook and the question that was given to us we started writing the paragraph describing and answering our question. Later on we also had a little time to continue reading Benjamin Franklin's autobiography.
At around noon Bert gave us the surprise that we were having a different afternoon, we all shouted of excitement and got our things ready to hop in the boat and visit this so place called San Pedro de la Laguna. I appreciated every second of this trip, since the boat which we could appreciate the volcanoes, the houses, the crop plantation in the highest peak of the mountains and much more.
When we arrived we could noticed that the lake was rising a lot and a lot of houses had water above their windows, it was very shocking and sad. We continued walking and admire the paintings and the hand made objects. We hired a tour guide which was the best idea, he took us to a cooperation of women that made the whole process of clothing. Since the plantation of cotton to the dying and the selling. They looked so happy and inspired what they were doing with so much passion that it was very regarding looking at their pieces of work and paying attention to their explanations. We continued walking and entered little shops of hand made shoes from leather and other little shops. This town it is known for having no violence, no beggars, no trash on the streets, and a very unified community. This was reflected all over the place.
At lunch time we were starving and went to this restaurant recommended by Bert, it was called El Artesano, it was very small and unique place. They had a library where we found ATLAS SHRUGGED. You can only imagine how we got all psyched with. After waiting an approximation of about 2:30 hrs. our food arrived and it was worth the wait. We order a plate of several cheese, where the first minutes nobody talked, because we had classical music at the back and we were delighting the taste of a variety of cheese. It was a great experience and loved every second of it. Here I discovered that I love taking pictures and capture magical moments that can't be put into words.

On our way back it started raining and got a little bit wet, so we got into our cabins and continue reading Benjamin Franklin's autobiography. After dinner the skies were clearing up and we could observe the stars, planets and a lot of constellations with an app designed for it.
Today we had lots of fun at night, we stayed up playing card games and later on jumped to the lake which was freezing and I discovered I have a phobia with swimming at the lake specially at night.
