Honduras: La Ceiba (Also, snorkeling in Belize)
Whew! Today was an adventure! I traveled from Puerto Barrios (a super dodgy port town in Guatemala) to La Ceiba, Honduras. I left at 5:30am, changed buses four times, crossed one international border, took two taxies, and located a hostel that was identified incorrectly on the map — all before 5pm, and all by myself. That¨s right – […]
Guatemala: Tikal – Semuc Champey – Flores
As you can see from the subject, I’m back in Guatemala — and I definitely have some fun adventures to recount. But before the travel log, I’ll vent some of my complaints with a short list of things I would do if I were in charge: First, I would outlaw Doritos. Honestly, whoever thought it […]
Mexico: San Cristobal de las Casas – Palenque
I know I can’t compete with the news of new babies, breaking ground on houses, and almond-eating cats, but since I’m leaving Mexico in the morning and wont´t have a chance to write for a day or so, I should give a quick update about the past few days. I got into Mexico on Friday and […]
Guatemala: Xela (Week 4)
I can´t believe my spanish classes are almost over! I just bought my bus ticket to go to San Cristobal de las Casas in Mexico on Friday. I´ve had a great time learning spanish and living a relaxed (chilly) life here in Xela, but I´m definitely excited to get down into the jungles and see […]
Guatemala: Xela (Week 3)
So another week (or so has past) and I have good news for all of you: I´ve figured out how to make apostrophes easily! You can now enjoy a properly punctuated email (at least as far as contractions go – I make no promises for semicolons). Lets see, so the highlights of the past week […]
Guatemala: Xela (Week 2)
I cant believe Im already nearly at the middle of my second week of classes; I have a feeling this trip is going to go by fast. I think Ive made some progress with the espanol. Wouldnt mind making more progress, but most days arent too frustrating, and sometimes there are some nice breakthroughs. I […]
Guatemala: Xela (Week 1)
I feel kind of like I am writing early in a mission… (oh, and by the way, dont judge me for not writing with apostrophes–the keyboard is super annoying and it the effort to put in apostrophes is sucking my will to live, so Im abandoning that project). So Ive been in Quetzaltenango (Xela for […]
