Sorry about abandoning you guys these past days. I took a trip to the coast with some friends and the town that we stayed in only had ONE internet cafe that wasn't open all weekend. By the time that I got back to Antigua last night I was too pooped to poop, let alone update the old blog!
So here's the run down of what's been happening in Guatemala!
1.) Went to Monterrico on Saturday to watch them release the baby turtles into the ocean. I actually got to buy a turtle and let him (Squigley...that's what I named him) go be free! I watched him crawl along the black sand beach to freedom. I felt like a proud mother.
2.)We stayed in Monterrico until Tuesday. It was SO HOT AND HUMID there. You literally never stop sweating the whole time you are there. It was grossing me out at first, but then it became natural to me. Becasue it is so hot the mosquitos munch you like crazy. I look like an adult with chicken pox. The first place I stayed at had air-con in the room...which was really nice and it kept the bugs away. The second place had a pool...which was also AWESOME! Another escape from the bugs!
3.) I took my first chicken bus yesterday from Monterrico to Antigua! It wasn't half bad. There was hardly anyone on the bus so I wasn't cramped and it drove really fast which yielded a nice breeze :)
4.) Took a tour of the Mangrove Swamps. Had to get up at 5 am, but the view was unbelievable. Just a quiet boat ride to contemplate life and enjoy nature!
5.) I am back in Antigua at the moment. Staying for one more day. Today I have to get my shuttle ticket back up to Lanquin. I am going back to El Retiro and Semuc Champey again for a few days before I head up to the ruins in Tikal.
6.) Today is football day. We are all just going to sit back, relax and watch the boob tube. The weather is nice and everyone I am hanging with is very Euro and they are trying to get me into football! I am actually enjoying it...still haven't picked a team to root for...USA for now, I suppose!
Everything is going really well. I am feeling good and having fun meeting new people and seeing new things! About 2 more weeks in Guate and then off to Honduras to do some DIVING! WOO HOO!
until next time amigos....ADIOS!
