Guatemala - Chichicatenango
So, the minivan to Chichi is suppose to pick us up at 7:45, but it´s 8:20 and there is no minivan. We are all upset and about to get into a fight (we like to get into a fight when something doesn´t go right just to add to the misery). We finally go back to the hotel to figure out what´s going on, and are told that Guatemala does not observe Day Light Savings Time, so it´s only 7:20. We have been going around in Guatemala for THREE DAYS with the wrong time - no wonder people looked at us like idiots every time we tried to reserve something.

Lunch! The chicken was really good:
Guatemala is certainly different to travel in than Mexico. In Mexico, we took the public long distance buses every where, but here, we are arranging for mini-vans to pick us up from the hotels. We could take the ´chicken bus´ (converted school buses that are so named because of their liberal ´bring anything on board´policy that sometimes include live chickens), and a lot of the more ´adventurous´(i.e. young) travellers do, but I think we are just too old (or lazy).

When are we going to start seeing pictures of Bill and Jeeheon consuming mass loads of alcohol???? Come on, we're well into Month #1 and I need to win this bet.....

In addition to your "vacation to vacation",
I love your "lunch plate from lunch plate" :)
How many bracelets have you accumulated so far? I think you should do a bracelet count.
Our stomache bugs are stopping us from consuming mass loads of alcohol. Currently we have to stay within running distance from our hotel [i.e. the bathroom.]
Actually, not so many braclets. I do keep coins in my pocket to give to beggers, but not as many peddlers for some reason in Guatemala.
You should travel around the rest of your lives, I see more of you guys now that I did the whole time you were on the West Coast!
Enjoy, thanks for the blog, it's fun to keep up with you two....
Donnie & Jeanette
Thanks! It´s nice to know someone other than our mothers are reading the blog. Say hello to Kristen, Jr., Dusty and Daisy for us!
Soon, very soon, you will see lots of alcohol. Would be tonight if I had the camera.
