After two and half months in Mexico, I finally made it out of North America, and into Guatemala. My experience so far has been less than thrilling. It started with a terrible exchange rate of 6 Quetzales to 10 pesos. It was followed by 4 hours on chicken busses over flowing with people, only to be dropped off in a town we didn’t want to be in, with rain pouring down hard enough to completely soak a person to the morrow in their bones in a matter of seconds. Topping that off, we come the wonderful discovery that hotels in Guatemala average about double that of those in Mexico. Oh, no hostels here either. Tomorrow is another full day of travel before we arrive at our destination of Livingston, GUA. Wish us luck.
