... caution to the wind. We ordered some type of meat with tortillas and veggies and a side of Gallo to wash it down. Im not going to say that I wasnt a little bit nervous. but i figured that if I was going to get sick at least all of us would be sick together. Also, on a random note, they had blue corn which pretty much blew my mind, for some reason, even though ive had blue tortilla chips, i could not wrap my ...

... Maribel, of not giving me any challenges or making it too easy for me. That has really been something I have appreciated. Maribel and I got along very well, had a lot of laughs all the while she maintained a good balance between praising me and pointing to areas, where I had to focus more. I suppose I did around 1½-2 hours of homework every afternoon, including the time it took me to try to sum up all the grammar rules in a little Word document. The school does not ...

... utterly amazing and never before expected in my life, a river of flowing lava. I sat sweating on a rock for a good deal of time and stared at the bright red stream that was surreal to be seeing. The river then overflowed and a second stream began slowly making it’s way down another ditch ...

... looking for volunteers to jump from the bridge into the river below.... No volunteers until i notice Stephen taking off his clothes... the guy that is afraid of heights and wont even go on the rollercoaster in Funderland... next thing too late to warn him that there may be rocks below,... hear a crash.... Stephen has jumped.... he finally emerges from the water and is the hero of the day... he was just being a pansy and trying to impress the 8 pretty young German ...

Shane says: <br><br>We arrived in Guatemala city in the afternoon and took a bus directly to Antigua as recommended by some travellers we met along the way who had less than savoury things to say about the capital.

They were shoving each other and promising us that the person that offered us the $5 ...

... of the wares sold in Antigua, some of which you will have to wait until we get home to see (!) We bought some dodge dried/sugared fruits (still not sure what exactly they were) fresh Pinapple, Mango, Lychees, and dragon fruit at the market for 10Q (around a pound) which made a messy and delicious lunch :D Not to mention the ceviche from the market Anwen:'the lime cooks the prawns&#8217;<br><br>Sarah: &#8216;Are you sure?&#8217; Jury&#8217;s still out&#8230 ...

... servies avec du riz, des carottes...) ou autres plats locaux. Et ma carte mentale et gastronomique d'Antigua commence à bien se remplir. Ce samedi, 25 avril, je suis allée manger avec 2 autres voyageurs français dans un resto typique. Un vrai restaurant, cette fois-ci, car les comedores, comme les petites dames ne cuisinent généralement qu'à midi. Et au menu, il y avait.... des tamales ! Et pas n'importe lesquels : des ...

... There's a definite Mayan presence here in the dozens of artesanal markets and shops, although it feels quite disneyfied. Anyones parents would love this place. Active Volcan Pacaya, over an hour away, is one of Antigua's most popular day trips, drawing hundreds of visitors daily with the promise of roasting marshmallows over its flowing lava. I'd seen friends photos so set off accordingly enthusiastic about ...

... b three young women, and a great guy from Montenegro. His name was Voyo Knezevic. He lives in NYC and works in a Basque restaurant in the West Village. It was Voyos first time on a horse. He was a real enthusiast, had a great spirit. The women walked behind our two horse caravan as we climbed upward. We finally reached a ridge where we could look across a valley covered in black lava. We then had to dismount, and slide down a long hillside of scree ...
