From Copan Ruinas you can take a shuttle directly to Antigua, Guatemala and avoid dealing with Guatemala City altogether. Sounded like a great idea to me and well worth the $15. There is one that leaves at 6 am and another at noon. Guess which one I chose? Another easy border crossing...but there's one thing I don't get. According to Lonely Planet, a new agreement between 4 Central American countries allows you to travel in these countries up to 3 months and pay only one fee at the first coun...

We arrived around noon and caught a van directly to Antigua. We stayed near the Merced church and just wandered around a bit, having stayed here in 2000. The staff at our little hotel was very friendly and we had a spectacular view of the volcano from our room. Casa Cristina is located on a quiet side street.

Our journey started with a 2:50am with a departure from LAX - officially one of the most ghetto airports ever. Anyhow, we chose to depart at this unimaginable hour in order to arrive in Guatemala during the day (most flight arrive around 10:30pm when coming from the West Coast). Anyhow, we had a brief stop in Mazatlan and a 3.5 hour stop in Mexico City. Fortunately, Mexico City had a Starbucks so I was very happy. We stopped in a little bar/cafe and had lunch. I had taquitos with interesting ...

Tony has told me to stop writing about the church bells because I might be perceived as anti-church/anti-Christian, etc...Ok, well, I'm not anti-church, but I'm definitely hating this Iglesia La Merced. Luckily, the bells didn't start until 8am today...BUT, they've got a live band that hangs out in the entryway playing drums...! Yep, they played most of the day on and off from 8am-ish...Also adding to my stress was one of the owners of Casa Cristina who thought that 7:30am was the perfect tim...

We left as soon as the boatman arrived next morning and got a bus to Guatemala City then a shuttle to Antigua. I think the hotel we're staying in now is next to the one I stayed in the last time I was here. The roof terrace looks familiar from this terrace. (Do you remember if it was called Casa Luna, Sue?). Thankfully Jon likes Antigua. Unfortunately he's seen a flyer for a weekend surf school and is determined to go. Though with any luck, if he has to organise it himself, he wont get round ...

... turned away by the Marriott as it seems that even here the money talks (mostly by the big luxurious bus trips full of American and Europeans) we managed to get friendly with a local tour operator that let us leave our bags in his office. It was another point to the Spanish as Elena did the talking to the no Spanish agent and the slap on my back as we left made me feel more more secure than if we would have left our bags with the snobs at Marriott. So from being bag less we ...

... Marshmallows toast way too quickly there so you end up with a charred gooey mass on the end of a stick...still yummy under the crust. Mable x Macīs shoes are still wet inside, and it has been 2 days! He left the lake and traveled to Antigua, arriving feeling more than sick, yes the roads were horrible. Antigua is a lovely little town which as Mable said has been rebuilt more times than Liza Minelli has had plastic surgery. Mac visited a macadamia ...

... alfombras, carpet or mat in Spanish. They're rectangular saw dust mats they make on the streets and cover with decorative patterns of colored chalk. Saw my first one in Santa Catarina, it was beautiful and gigantic. Anyways, I'm ecstatic. With Pols done and Spanish done in less than a week, my time here in Guatemala is about to change dramatically. I'm planning to try and work on Spanish as much as possible this week (literalmente ...

... helpful and polite. A very poor country with more than half the population living in poverty. The official national minimum wage is only $130 per month and not everyone is lucky enough to get that. Many generations of families live together out of necessity in small, single room concrete block homes. Word has it that there is no middle class, only a ruling class and an exploited class. Only ...

... about an hour through forest which was quite hard going at first, and there were horse taxis for those who gave up - we didnt!! We got told that a torch would be neccessary to get down with and we thought they were exaggerating so bought one between the 3 of us - this turned out to be a mistake!! Eventually, we emerged through the trees and saw the smoking volcano which was amazing! We walked up it on the volcanic rock which was sliding down and the higher we got ...
