I left San Pedro early in the morning to catch the Sunday market at Chichicastenango (ChiChi for short, because that long thing takes too long to say after mispronouncing it the first two times). I came via tourist shuttle with a small group. The trip was kind of beautiful, through winding roads up and down the mountian valleys, with views of trees and country side. It would have been a full blown beautiful if twisting down some of the roads there wouldn't have been the equivalent of a landfi...

Panajachel, Guatemala sisterparish
Hello Everyone, Thursday night at the Carmelite parish house there was a sister parish meeting. There we met some of the people of the parish and one of them was the indigenous mayor of Panajachel. His name is Gustavo. He invited us to him home the next day. His home was right next door to the Hotel Montana where we stayed. He runs a little boarding house. We met his mother who is blind. She doesn't speak much Spanish, only Cakchiquel. We met his wife, Celestina, and two of his children, Wend...

... br>"bring it on" attitude (I mean, the movie was fab, so the attitude has
to be too, right?) So after getting ripped off on the fare (like double
what it should have been - Sue argued, but what are you gonna do when
you´re already on the bus?), we were dropped off pretty much on the
side of the road. We got on another bus, which we also thought was
going to Panajachel, and which also was not. This bus had an actual
super nice Guatemalan on it, however ...
... speak to you in a language you don't understand, use you as slave labor, and then, as a gift, give you a big statue of a white man that they expect you to know what to do with.
So what did they Maya do with all these statues of saints? The decorate them of course! And the decorates are awesome. Tons of colors and clothes and make up and all sorts of things. Usually Peter and Paul end up looking like transvestites and I have seen statues where the virgin Mary could have ...

Eventually I came up with a plan to say that I wanted to change. It was felt best to come from one of the guys, so Derek translated and they quickly left. The night was long and restless and morning came not a moment too soon, although it was with mixed blessings as the thought of another day hiking with aching limbs wasn’t that appealing either. We got up and quickly packed up our meagre belongings as the guides fixed up breakfast which ...

... 8211; is open to the public.
It was a super hot day when we visited, but thanks to the protection of the dense jungle, we weren’t too uncomfortable as we explored the site.
It was very different to the Garden of Eden we found at Palenque in Mexico. For a start, it was much more spread out, and there were a lot ...
