Hotel California Huehuetenango

... to Tikal for the ¨sunrise¨ tour. Yeah, didn´t make it for the<br>sunrise, since apparently it´s been illegal for a few years to get into<br>the park before it opens. But they still advertise that it´s a sunrise<br>tour. Oh well, our guide claims that they are going to start allowing<br>sunrise tours again in a few months, so if you´re down here, check it<br>out. Tikal was the capital city of Mesoamerica between about 600 BC and<br>900 AD and is today one of the ...

... the same price with<br>transportation and a guide, and we would've gotten to visit the caves.<br>Sorry, Ted, my bad for trying to be a cheapskate.<br><br>After a few lazy hours, we caught a ride in one of the Gringomobiles<br>back to town and picked up the laundry we had dropped off this morning.<br>Teddy was very bitter because he had 10.5 pounds of smelly clothes and<br>I only had 2. I explained to him that I had ...

... air, we are a low jungle climate. It is<br>hot! And once again, the clothing is totes different. It's amazing how<br>you can travel a short distance and the traditional Maya clothing and<br>language have completely changed.We finally got to Lanquin and made our<br>way to El Retiro, a hotel which both our books had raved about. And<br>rightly so. It is a bunch of palm-thatch roofed cabanas on these<br>beautiful grounds with flowers ...

... declined her offer. Walking back into town and thinking more about it, I started kicking myself. I should have asked if she was willing to put me up for a day or two. I'm always looking for ways to stay and learn more about the indigenous cultures. This one came to me, but I turned it away. At the market, a few minutes later, I ran into her again (fate decided to give me another chance). I asked her about staying with her ...

... vibrant green textiles are beautiful, and I am really glad to have seen a procession that day, which went around the church square.<br>While I was people-watching in the centro, a woman and ...

Mi novia y yo nos levantamos a 8. Fuimos a Huehuetenango, Huehue es solo una hora fuera de Chichi. Comemos desayuno en el carro, la comida fue del hotel. En Huehue nosotros paseamos la ciudad por casi hora. Entonces visitamos ruinas de Zaculeu, lo es gigante y bonito. Cuando ustedes fueron Huehue es importante que visiten el ...

... down, and some flyers playing in his ass. It was a very nice greeting for us!!! : ) After calling Jorge (the man where we were about to sleep) he came to pick us up with the girlfriend. From the first moment we realize how friendly they were, and therfore we were not afraid anymore of this thing of sleeping in somebody¨s house and bla bla. They took us to a restaurant to have a tipical Guatemalteco Breakfat, and afterwards to ...

Hey Feels like Im popping out these blogs like they are going out of fashion but Ive been moving around so much lately. Grab a seat and a cerveza becasue this could be a long one. So after the last installment me and the two Swedisah guys hit a couple of the night clubs. There were some damn sexy girls about including 3 promo girls for the local beer Gallo. They were in tight little pants and everytime a good song came on they´d get in the middle of the dancefloor and shake ...

Before leaving on our trip we had envisioned Mexico and Central America to be full of markets where we could buy exquisite handicrafts at dirt cheap prices. Not so. Or at least not in the places we had been so far. Most of the markets we had visited were stocked with cheap imported goods from Asia. But Guatemala's Western Highlands were different, as they are populated by various Mayan groups that have lived there for over 2000 years and managed to hold on to their ancient ...

Arrived at Ana´s for 6pm as arranged. Got introduced to her mum and then settled into our lovely comfortable room. This is just the landing outside our bedroom. When we met her dad it was apparent he didn't want us there but we thought maybe after a day or so he would chill out a bit. It was a bit weird too because the first night Ana went out for dinner and left us alone with her mum ...
