first . . . i read my travel pod from guate, and there was a whole part missing so i fixed it today, so go read it right now. so before i forget again to mention this in a travelpod, that little thing called the swearing in ceremony that happens when we are done with training and we become official peace corps volunteers . . . oh yeah that bad boy happened about two weeks ago. it was on a thursday night, and we all got pretty dressed up. it was totally weird blow drying my hair and putting on...
Antigua Guatemala, Western Highlands, Guatemala pcvmonroebelizeWe overnighted at the dual carriageway suburban joy that is the Country Inns & Suites but it suited this time. Only excitement is Liz deciding to put 2 cheese toppped croissants through the toaster rolling grill - flames & panic followed. Minor fun continues as our pick-up is moved back without us being told & TACA take a dislike to our paper flight tickets which leads to an hour of hasstle at check-in. I think on the way out someone in Guatemala had taken the wrong coupon out - this was the ...
Guatemala City, Western Highlands, Guatemala pilgrim143This is how I wrote it in my journal. Today was a travel day so we didn't really do anything. My parents drove Rachel and I down to Oklahoma city. Then we met everyone at OC. We found out one of the members of our group, Amber decided not to come. She didn't say why though, so everyone is really curious. I'm wondering how much I'm going to miss Aaron (my boyfriend at the time). I made a friend on the plane today, he didn't speak any English. It was a little frustrating at first, trying to und...
Guatemala City, Western Highlands, Guatemala whereverheleadsNot much to say here. Needed some alone time, so toured the complex by myself. Arrived about 10:30, rain started about an hour later, chasing the hordes away. It stopped, and I had the place largely to myself. Very impressive ruins.
Tikal, Guatemala wrymouthale
... than having to run through the airport like a maniac is having to<br>run back past the same people because you couldn´t find your<br>gate the first time. And even worse is that when you finally get to<br>your gate, your travel partner is sitting there laughing at you, having<br>watched you run back and forth and knowing full well that the flight<br>isn´t boarding for another fifteen minutes and you have plenty of time.<br>Teddy was pretty much laughing from relief, however ...
Guatemala City, Guatemala, Guatemala namaste32... that looked something like the surface of the moon. Nothing grew here; I saw no green shoots, no signs of life. The earth was black and barren, when you walked a small cloud of dust arose from your footprints. Looming above us was a smoking peak.<br><br>As we pressed on we reached some twisted rock formations, which we proceeded to walk over. The horse couldn’t go any further. Good thing I brought my boots. There was a ...
Antigua Guatemala, Western Highlands, Guatemala kieran_maartens... remained the rest of the afternoon. We were kinda afraid since we were walking in open spaces. <br><br>With the little time we had left, we went to the art and history museum, which are together but only got to see one, the modern art one. Since we only had one hour we had to run, and couldn't see it all. But the variety of expositions were really nice. <br><br>In the ...
Guatemala City, Guatemala, Guatemala jaribg... the starting point for many horse drawn carriage or horseback tours. To the south of the park was a building currently being restored, Palacio de los Capitanes Generales (Palace of the Captains General). To the east of the park was the Catedral de Santiago Apostal y San Jose Catedral where I watched a steady stream of people entering/exiting the church as one Saturday wedding started and another wedding finished. During a lull between weddings, I ...

Antigua Guatemala, Western Highlands, Guatemala msdemeaner... from a sapling it tuned into a tree and from there a fruit which was picked and the skin shed, dried in the sun and the skin shed again, sorted and then roasted. One tree with 6lbs of fruit becomes 1lb of coffee after all this process and turns into 40 cups of coffee. AMAZING! I can know appreciate the price of coffee. There is a great legend that coffee was discovered by a Shepard who found his sheep would get rather agitated and not sleep after ...
Antigua Guatemala, Western Highlands, Guatemala salsita... so is almost an ex-pat’s dream, as long as the violence and street crime is in check. That’s the Latin American disease now, rampant all over. Guat City is apparently one of the worst now. I notice that Koreans are moving in to handle commercial chores, just like they do in much of LA. They’ll go places that not even the Chinese will go. The plane down was full of them. So here I am in ...
