Posada Landivar Antigua Guatemala

... around blue corn. I ended up not trying any, but Tim said it was pretty decent.<br><br>We traveled down to the cemetery to see what was happening. It was a little chaotic but I must say as a former cemetery worker and gravedigger, i would have had a lot more fun at my job if I had worked in Guatemala. People were running all over the place, barbecuing, flying kites, enjoying the day .... to me it was ...

... any books for you. Instead they are using loose sheets containing their own outline of the Spanish grammar and the vocabulary they find essential. Occasionally, Maribel would teach me using a broad variety of other text books &#8211; original or not &#8211; but most of the time, she just wrote the rules on loose sheets of paper. Looking back, I would really have preferred to have a single text book, even though I should have purchased it, in order for me to ...

... of curiosity, partly out of machoism, and partly out of the excitement of child, I climbed down as close as I could to the lava. I had with me a sandwich which was squerd by a tree branch I picked up along the way. I must have been only slightly more than a meter from the lava because my stick was ...

... on our tour....but hey he is still alive...<br><br>Then we arrive at Semuc Champey which means "hidden river", amazing sight, the river disappears under this natural limestone bridge of pools and ponds before reappearing 400 metes later... the colours ranged from light emerald green to dark blue sapphire... this is why it is called the jewel of Guatemala... now over enthuastic tour guides being over enthuastic guides, we had to climb up way too many steps in 35 degree ...

... is a liar, or that guy that swears he is leaving now will wait until more people turn up. The 40 minute trip (which should have been 1 hour) was interesting, it sounded like the driver was having a domestic with his wife, while zipping through lanes of traffic, cutting off a few annoyed drivers. <br><br>Antigua is a beautiful city, buildings brightly painted like those in the Caribbean but, as is the case with all tourist towns, prices were very inflated. Our hotel had no record of our ...

... br><br>There are also lots of pretty churches in Antigua which we explored a bit before retreating from the rain to play cards and drink beer in a hammock &#8211; It&#8217;s a hard life.<br><br>In the evening we had some more beer at a bar overlooking some ruins and grabbed a quick Mexican style food before getting the 6:30 bus back to Guatemala city from where we caught an overnight bus to Flores.<br><br>The bus wasn&#8217;t overly nice &#8211; it smelt and ...

... ou tamales de chipilin (un legume-herbe utlise en cuisine en Amérique Centrale et au Mexique), qu'on ne trouve pas souvent. Très très bon. J'ai aussi mangé un chile relleno (poivron farci), un tamal colorado, frijoles volteados (haricots rouges cuits et frits... je sais, pas très engageants mais c'est vachement bon!).

... my parents another reason to rent their hair in worry. After a couple of hours struggling over coral-sharp volcanic rock we arrived at the place where the lava normally is- nada. I know Nature wan't be directed to the whims of tourists, but BAH, I was so excited! The rocks were boiling hot though, with steam gushing out from cracks in the ravine. Apparently guides at similar volcanoes in Costa Rica don't let ...

... the hard valley floor. We then crossed the lava field and began the upward decent of Pacayas cone. This last bit was the worst. It was tough! It was straight up on a steep angle, in soft small scree stones. Just like climbing a sand dune.You up 100 percent effort into a foot step to climb up one foot, and in the end, you gain one inch, maybe less. What made it worse, was the wind. I have never been in wind that strong. It literally blew several of our ...
