that's what we just were we ran across going to get about 25 minutes get to santiago let's go we arrived to Santiago atitlán so this is the biggest town on the lake it's part of the solar loud Department and a really cool thing about this place is this is where the street food is and they also have like a pagan god here so wooden God and they put a cigarette in his mouth and it smokes so it's like eternally smoking let's go find some street food I'm starving town the name is Santiago atitlán and it's the most important town here in the so you can see here what is under the water yeah the plaza actually so crazy that happened in 2010 and the last Tropical Storm Agatha so look at this Lana has gone up about 15 feet over the past 20 years most of the original plaza is completely under water right here and the reason why there like a thing going up is because there's so many troubles storms lately and they think anything about 50 years for the late to go back down 15 feet which is the original level of the water now we were gonna use two to four to get the restaurant because it's a long way up we're gonna have some street food we're also gonna try a typical fish from the lake which pushes it yeah the black bats black bass okay black bass I have a have that bass in a while but I'm sure it's really good its peanuts yep yeah hates penis so we just ordered some black bass with there's like many different versions of it so I got it with some white wine sauce you got it I don't know in bunny sad bunny song ready what's wrong what do you do and yeah we're going to keep walking through the streets here I mean it's really cool it's like another market town it's less market than did you guys tonight no this is like more like separated these vendors right here what

Mayan religion he's not a God not a saint they call him the grandfather and basically what has happened here is that the Mayan religion and Christianity has United here so it's like a mix and then you saw me this is what's the name of the chapel so Santa Cruz Santa Cruz Chapel and that's where my she moon is and basically he has two guys which guard him there with him all day every single day and they changed his cigarette so as you can see they keep changing his cigarettes as they finish they change it and the way it works is basically you come here to give a donation and you have to God or you - basically bless you or help you in some way you know you also gives donation and give him a drink and that's we just did pretty amazing and that's basically that's how it works here and he's
