The he said come with me(I was thinking the worst) however he bypassed me right out the door a said enjoy your stay in Guatemala. I look up and there was I a guy with a sign ...

We arrive at this beautiful lakeside town. Lots of colour. Lots of stray dogs. Lots of tourist shops. We canīt get a great view of the lake, it has been raining and misting all afternoon so the lake isnīt fully visible.

We get to the hotel and check in. Lynn (Team Leader) and her friend Alexia greet us and our little group grows to eight. After a quick shower we meet back at ...

When did I last write? 5 days ago? 6? Hmmm...that fact that I cannot remember leads me to believe that one of two things has happened: 1) I have reached the point in my trip where time no longer matters and a week feels the same as a month...in the best possible way; or 2) My short-term memory really is as bad as I fear. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night down here and cannot remember where I am--which wouldnīt be so bad if I werenīt waking up ...

Sorry, it's been * while. We're b*ck *g*in though... Altogether, we spent * month in Xel*. The gr*mm*r got h*rder.

After a very early start on Tuesday morning I have finally caught my plane to Guatemala city via Madrid. The plane was packed with hardly a seat to spare, I was sitting next to a guy from Seville who was incredibly chatty but with the smelliest feet. He sadly took his shoes off pretty much on entering the plane and it took me a while to be become desensitized to ...

... our friendly taxi driver, Don Domingo, who safely delivered us to our hotel in Antigua. We have stayed there a few times before, so it is familiar and welcoming. Although we occasionally got turned around, the town seemed like visiting an old neighborhood one had known in youth. Knowing Volcan Agua is our landmark to the South, we set our ...

... on this experience in another entry. But just another tidbit: Gallo. Gallo is Guatemala's national beer, who's symbol of a rooster's head can be seen everywhere. I'd heard about it before I left for Guatemala and had been pretty eager to try it. Seriously, it's a huge thing here, like Pollo Campero. It's actually pretty alright (it's not Great Western Light) and conveniently comes in litre bottles. Oh, I just decided to drop my economics class ...

... Botran at the īPana Rock Cafeī (a total rip-off of the Hard Rock cafe). There was a live band playing and the Guatamalan's were dancing on the tables!!! Sunday 14th - I went for breakfast with Adrian (which included the worst cup of coffee have ever had!!!) and then he went to catch the bus back to Antigua and I went off to the nature reserve to find some monkeys....there were lots of spider monkeys so I watched them for a while and got ...

... m deep and has a surface of about 120 sq km. Half a dozen of little towns blossomed on its banks and all of them have their own identity and specificity. Panajachel is the most developed of them all with street vendors, numerous restaurants and places to stay for tourists. A big expat hippie community leaves out there, mostly Americans. I spent a night in a very romantic setting, surrounded by couples on their honeymoon, in one of Guatemala's most spectacular hotel ...
