We followed President Faundez and his wife to Santa Elena, Peten and stayed in this beautiful Maya Hotel on the shore of Peten Itza Lake.
This is the view out our room window.
We ate in this dining room.
We LOVED their pina colada. We had a zone conference with the missionaries in Peten Friday morning.
Saturday morning we took the mission nurse, Sister Moser, to Tikal to hike around the ruins there.
It was amazing, with light sprinkles and cool weather, which is unusual here. The main plaza.

Coatis came down the hill to feed, very cute. There were a lot of animals, birds, plants, and trees of interest.
A group of locals came wearing the traditional dress of Guatemala. Love the colorful pants!
Talk about tree hugger.
