Economical- In the Hotel where we are staying the water is heated in the shower head.
Peaceful- birds are constantly singing and the vehicles are mostly motorcycles that are quiet.
Happy- most of the people here are constantly smiling and laughing.
Mature- the elementary children walk in small groups to and from school through the city with no adults. I have seen no strife between the children. They just walk and smile. Some young teenagers even drive the taxis, which look like gas powered 3 wheel golf carts, just smaller.
Food- the food has been tasty. So far I’ve eaten chicken soup with corn tortillas that I got to make, eggs, black beans, a mango, pineapple, macadamia nuts, chicken fajitas and vegetable lasagna.
Drinks- so far I’ve had special hortchata made with milk, pineapple, and coconut. I’ve also had hot cocoa. Both of these drinks were made from ingredients grown here and taste so good.

That is a Panajachel taxi in the background.
