Antigua - i like!

... because there is only one contractor in town and so he can run the show. Makes you realize how nice it is to have all the competition in NY and to get the good prices.

Anyway after a beer and watching some salsa lessons and listening to plenty of salsa, we head home and get a little lost. We end up getting some directions from a stranger who sees we look lost and is really nice. Too nice I think so I think he is trying to set us up to mug us. He tells ...

Even bijpraten

Even bijpraten over alle belevenissen.

We hebben Honduras inmiddels verlaten en zijn onderweg naar El Salvador. Het was even niet mogelijk om te internetten. Ook de PC waar ik nu dit verhaal aan het opschrijven ben is erg traag!

Honduras is werkelijk een schitterend land! zeker is dat ik in een volgend leven hier nog een keer wil terugkomen....hahahaha.

We hebben de afgelopen dagen in Copan doorgebracht. We hebben de oude ruines bekeken met een gids en zijn ...

onto Antigua, salsa and an Irish bar

... once for toilet break and all of us making a beeline for it. After picking up some snacks we arrived in the hectic place of Guatemala City and saw heaps of chicken buses - all of them have an exhaust problem as they throw tons of black smoke every time they take off. It was crazy to be in such traffic and chaos again! I also saw so many pinata shops - it was like pinata street and there was also a funeral street...

We swapped into a mini bus for the ...

... turns around and backing him up. I did pretty well too, until my horse started bucking me (3 times - she was a nervous nelly). After that, I didn't like it as much. There's really so much to tell about this trip. I'm deciding now to give you some of the highlights with the understanding that all the food/restaurants was superb. especially "the World's best brownie" from La Pena del Sol Latino. Now, I've been around the world... I can honestly say, this ...

Antigua: The Family!

... Our relationship is one of both friendship and business, in that we see each other everyday and we're friends, but it's still a business transaction when it comes down to it. She's a pretty alright cook, keeping things interesting. She's also typically religious: religious imagery is throughout the house (see below), goes to Catholic church mm... I think it's a few times a week, etc. From what I gather, she's married three times. Her ...

Salama/Plan de Sanchez: The Names of His Family.

... down the mountain and made our way back to Rabinal, then to Salama, and then back to Guatemala City. It was a beautiful trip back. Rolling into Antigua was certainly an odd time, it was like returning to Disneyland or something. It was good to be back, but man, Antigua really isn't like the rest of Guatemala. In all serious, one of the greatest, most memorable times I've ever had.

Esquipulas

Today we took a four hour drive to a place called Esquipulas, home to the Basilica de Esquipulas where many people come to pay respects to El Senor de Esquipulas. It was worth the drive because the church is absolutely amazing. People come to this church and light candles in hopes that their prayers will be answered. From the ...

Esquipulas

Il y a deux semaines je suis allée à Esquipulas, un endroit célèbre pour le Christ Noir, une statue d'un Christ, ben, noir... Les gens de la region, et de loin, y viennent pour remercier Dieu pour les choses qui vont bien dans leur vie ou pour prier pour un miracle. J'ai été invité par Paola, la fille de la famille dans laquelle je vis, qui voulait y aller avec son mari pour bénir ...
