After growing up and spending most of the Winters of my life in Colorado I don't miss the cold, snow would be ok if it was not so cold. My Colorado Summer town was -17 F last night. It will be a long time before I try another Winter up there in the Rockies... Colorado eh?

Although, the small villages around the lake are more interesting (I visited Santiago y San Marcos) I'm sure as a semi-permanent resident I would also prefer Panajachel because of the reasons you cited. However, I learned many years ago that (for me) a place of enchantment tends to gradually lose its magic when it becomes home, this realization hit home after my relocation to the mountains of Colorado. Still, I cherish all that I experienced in Guatemala and am now considering the possibility of living there following early retirement at age 62. As I write this, we are in the throes of another killer cold wave. My body cannot tolerate these inviernos much longer.
