On houses in Santiago Atitlan

We should have taken more photos of houses in Mom and Paul's neighborhood. This is the house next door that Mom and Paul rented last year. It's much smaller than their new house, but living there gave them lots of ideas about designing their own living space. Their new house will have traditional thatched roofs over the patios like those on this house. The creativity and beauty of houses we saw in Guatemala show what people can do with a little imagination, limited funds, and an absence of building restrictions.
