Alex arrived in San Pedro safely. To my surprise she WAS NOT on a chicken bus. Every chicken bus that drove by that didn’t have her on it made my heart sink…I thought that maybe she had taken the wrong one, or she got off at the wrong spot?! Finally she showed up in a giant, luxury (for Guatemala) shuttle. I was so relieved.
The only time I wish that I had a cell phone was in situations when you kinda need to know where someone is and what the plan is. But then I am reminded that things always manage to work themselves out, and that life existed before technology and people CAN get by without it…
After we got settled in to the hostel we had to take care of some serious business. We had to get Alex a Brahva Extra, pronto (they don’t have Brahva Extra in Xela)….and some chips and guac.
We went out last night. It was invigorating (in the sense that it lifted my spirits and was just the medicine I needed). We laughed. Spoke way too much English (actually we did make the transition to espanol after a few Brahva Extras!). Made new friends. Discovered new places and reunited with familiar ones.
To say the least, it was an awesome night and a much needed reunion. I am very lucky to have such an awesome travel buddy!
Here is a little taste of the action! (click on the facebook link for more pictures!)
Until next time amigios…ADIOS!
