Just Me and Dad in Guatemala

Fri, 1 Apr 2011 | By disorientednomad | Views [932]

  One day, I was looking at the "1,000 places to go before you die" book, and I saw Tikal.  I thought, "I want to go there" so I asked my parents (I was visiting them at the time) if anyone wanted to go for my 30th birthday.  My ... Read more >

  San pedro la laguna, Guatemala  Day 1 I'm en route to the lake. It's another gnarly bus ride but there's only 8 people so it's comfy! The scenery is beautiful. Looking down into the valleys you see little villages with smoke ... Read more >

“Move over, señoras y señores! Go on, lady - move to the back please, there’s plenty of space!” The driver’s assistant is rearranging the passengers on the already packed bus to make room for more. After a few months in Guatemala, this feels like a ... Read more >
