They had a wonderful selection of smoothies, juices, coffees, and teas to drink. There was also a traditional guatemalan hot chocolate that looked & sounded delicious.

After our "brunch" we finished the bumpy boat ride to the other side of the lake and arrived in San Juan.
About half of us took the tuk-tuks to the weaving shop and the rest walked there. While we were there we watched a presentation on how the women's co-op dyes the thread, spins the thread, creates the pattern then sets up the backstrap loom.
The process was long and involved but the results were beautiful. One thing we found most interesting about their work - all of their dyes came from natural substances. Many were from wood, fruits and vegetables.
The rest of the day was spent eating & shopping in Pana. We had one final dinner at the bomberos then headed back to the hotel to pack & get a restful night sleep for the travel day.
