... and he translates. So, we´ve been making a great team so far.<br>From our brief cab ride, Guatemala City didn´t look too beautiful. We<br>saw a lot of sketchballs and a lot of hookers. Near the end of our<br>ride, our cab driver told us that the neighborhood was ¨muy peligroso¨<br>and to be careful. When Susan curiousy asked him what ¨zona¨ it was (GC<br>is divided into zonas), he cheerfully replied Zona 1. AKA the zone<br>where our hotel was. Awes. All in all though, our hotel ...

... was astounding!<br><br>But holding what really blew my mind, and was probably the highlight of my entire trip, was seeing the river of lava. Holding my mouth and edging closer to the crevice, I could see a river of molten rock running under the very ground we were standing on. It was humbling. This was a truly unique, life-changing experience. In life, you either have or haven&#8217;t seen a river of lava, and now, I had. I felt ...

... voice screams out over our area from the hot tub area. A figure rises and two flashlights light him up. We have no idea what we was saying but it sounded biblical and it was totally priceless. He gets a round of applause. We´re told to be quiet again. After an interesting round of ´Never have I ever´ (aren´t they always??) it starts to rain. It´s a slick, sloped, walk back to the rooms.

... Spanish) I was given directions to a tourist information center. Using the map provided by the center, I went to another location which still did not house the tourist police. Again, I asked for directions. This time the directions led me to the correct location of the police station, which ironically was a few blocks from my hotel. Unfortunately, I was too late for the 3 pm escort and will have to come back another day. <br><br>My other mission was ...

... and design of there hand woven cloths. The city of Antigua is quite cereal and beautifully kept with no rubbish anywhere and no stray dogs. I have been told not all of Guatemala is like this. The people are also seriously friendly and smiling the whole time with nobody harassing you to buy anything or go anywhere. They are also all very small due to the Mayan decent I presume, I am on the tall side over here. I should really have lived her all my life :)

... all before. There&#8217;s a whole new generation of ex-pats now, opening bars and restaurants, but not marrying in like the foreigners in Thailand, not for the most part any way. Maybe that&#8217;s why the government has no problem with them. In Thailand it&#8217;s a big problem now. The ****ers won&#8217;t leave. But I&#8217;m not here to talk about that.
