The worst part about travelling is the travelling part! I thought I was so slick, having no problems with my 4 connections to get to Guatemala City, then getting to the bus station and hopping onto my 3 hour bus ride to a town called Panajachel. What I did not figure out until too late was that I had to get off the bus at some point and connect onto another one. I thought I had my bases covered. The guy in the seat next to me was supposed to be helping me but he fell asleep and failed to tell me when I had to get off the bus. Thank goodness I speak some Spanish. After some temporary panic I was on another bus to my destination. So I dragged my ‘not as cocky anymore’ butt off the bus 7.5 hours after my starting point!
I met up with my friend Roxanne at our pre-booked hotel and I went almost immediately to bed! Today we enjoyed exploring this city. Roxanne and I both love street food, grocery stores, and walking in the sun, so we’re a good team! Here are some of the highlights:
Tomorrow we’re going to take a boat to San Pedro where we plan to do a volcano hike. Stay tuned!

Same! Glad you are safe!
