A few pictures from the last week in Guatemala!
The mercado right at the Mexico/Guatemala... Maybe not the best idea to cross on Market day! Ooops!
Public transport in Guatemala... Known locally as chicken busses. To drive this bus I think you must be registered as clinically insane with an intense need for speed.
In Panajachel for New Years Eve
People watching while eating dinner. Kids everywhere were playing with fireworks and they didn't stop for about two days. It sounded like a war zone the entire night!

We met up with our friends Kahung, Mel and Dante for afternoon in Antigua before heading to school in Montericco and surprised Dante with a late Christmas present. He was so stoked!
Arriving in Montericco on a weekend during the Christmas holidays was a tad overwhelming... luckily the crowds cleared out on Monday and we were able to study in relative peace... minus the roosters crowing and the dogs barking

School for a week was intense! But I can think of worse places to learn!
Back in Antigua we are spending the weekend with Dante, Mel and Kahung before we part ways tomorrow as we are El Salvador bound!
Love the pics guys! We miss you!
ReplyDeleteSo....it took us six hours to drive 150k's from Lanquin to El Estor the other day. 4X4 the entire way in the rain. Low gearing at some points. Washed out roads on the sides of mountains. Crazy, but exhilarating.
Not as exhilarating as our Parking Lot Paries in Antigua, though. Boy, do I miss our fun crowd for the few days. I really hope we meet up once more in CR.
Safe travels and see you soon!
