Hello everyone! I have arrived, and now it’s time to fill you all in on what we’ve been up to since DawnO and I have been reunited.
First of all, I should tell you that getting to Panajachel (the meeting place) was going so well until I got on my last bus. It took 3 hours to drive about 10km due to traffic. Apparently it was one of the busiest days of the year next to New Years Eve. This also meant that my hotel “reservation” didn’t exist and I was stranded. Luckily, a nearby hotel took pity on me and created a living space for me in their workers’ storage shed at a reduced rate.
The next day DawnO showed up and all was well in the universe. Later in the day our neighbour and now travel companion Foxy Roxy joined us. You can checkout her blog at delafrijoles.blogspot.ca
Panajachel was a great little place on the lake that afforded some beautiful scenery and great food.
We all eventually made our way to Tikal via night bus and spent the last 2 days in the national park exploring the Mayan ruins. I was pretty excited because this particular park was used as Yavin in parts of Star Wars. Dork-gasm!
Tonight we take another night bus to Antigua and say good-bye to Rox, as she is going back to the Hat. I’m on duty for the next blog which I’m hoping will include a visit to a volcano. Muy caliente!
Enjoy!
