View from the Lake - Kayak Day

They say a picture is worth a thousand...blah, blah blah. So, basically this post will be mostly photos, cause they tell the best story of our incredible day on the water. We rented a double kayak on the edge of San Marcos and had ambitious plans to go all the to Santa Cruz - didn't happen. We got to the next town of Tzuzuna and decided that was plenty. Note to would-be kayakers - IMHO, stick to the shoreline, it's more interesting than the open water, safer to stay away from the boats, and that lake is way larger than it looks.

This first section is a look at some of the lakeside properties in the San Marcos to Pasaj-Cap area. While it's easy to envy these folks, I also feel a little bad for them. The lake has rose a solid couple of feet just in the month we have been here. That could mean devastation for many of these properties sooner than we thought.

Outside of the towns, there are some wonderful untouched areas of jungle - so peaceful and beautiful.

And there are some of the homes in the Pasaj-Cap cove...this first one looks ready to lose the first floor...

 And this is where we're staying, Pasaj-Cap-

 Between Pasaj-Cap and Tzuzuna...this first one is our favorite

And some of our favorite shots from around the lake

It was a wonderful day - make sure if you kayak that you plan to be back in the early afternoon - the weather can be unpredictable and a calm lake can turn pretty interesting pretty quickly.
