Or, it<br>could also be the fact that all our other friends are being responsible<br>and employed or some jazz like that. But, all in all, we think it´s<br>gonna be a mutually beneficial and fun as hell partnership and we are<br>totes stoked for the adventures to begin. <br><br>Today has actually gone pretty smoothly. Well, besides the fact<br>that Susan ...

... after we left the paved road behind, it threatened to reshape my spine. Pulling up a sharp incline we reached a small village. A few stray dogs stood up to meet us. It seemed an unlikely start to the ascent of a live volcano, but after that drive no one was complaining. <br><br>Our guide was a 14 year old local girl who looked like Frida Kahlo. She couldn't speak a word of English but I didn&#8217;t blame her as I couldn&#8217;t ...

... ness (yes, that is a word!). We arrive, and it´s a hotel set into the hillside of the lake. It´s ONLY accessible by boat and as you can imagine the view of the lake and volcanos is awesome!<br><br>We check in, settle into our rooms and meet higher up the hillside at Ashik-Lynn-Blaire-Stephs rooms. They have a nice patio. Some highlights of that settling:<br><br>- we drank most of the 24 beers we bought and carried ...

... birthday recently and Caroline&#8217;s birthday back in April.<br><br>Sol: Wish I was there to be watching Carlton&#8217;s impressive season with you. Top six, wicked. Finals for sure.

In 1960 the city council realized that this elegant city would attract tourist and limited commercial development within the city. Now, the city is a tourist hot spot and a weekend retreat for wealthy Guatemalans. <br><br>RUNNING IN CIRCLES (APR 18) <br ...

... did not show up on time, and we had to way 1 hour. We are not staying in the capital, since there is not much to see. We are going straight to the rural area. We are heading to Chichicastenango, where there is a nice open market on Sunday. Also, due to Palm Sunday, it should be busy. Talk to you soon Arnou Familly

... was a good way to see the city. We started going to Casa Santa Domingo which is one of the large 5 star hotels her but also has a beautiful garden and various museums with colonial objects and Mayan art. It was fascinating as in this exhibition they mixed old Mayan artifacts with new glass work. It worked in an odd sort of way but it turns out that they did this so that the Latinos and other people living in the city who might be a little prejudice ...

... me that many people carry guns in the city, other friends had also mentioned it. I assumed that they would be the small pistol sise guns, I was not expecting to see people wandering the streets with vast pump action rifles, the type that could blow a hole though a thick wall. Lucky with Ivan I felt safe - ish. On entering the borders of Antigua he mentioned we were coming up to a very steep decent and that is was extremely ...

As we approached the city, characteristic shops and houses lined the road, many appearing rather shanty. Closer to the city and coming down from the mountains were some excellent views spanning most of the city and the surrounding mountains. Guatemala City, as I should've expected and soon realized, is just as paradoxical ...
