Pictures from my trip

In my twenties, I spent several years exploring the world with all my possessions on my back. I travelled from place to place, making temporary homes in different countries for a few months at a time as I worked as a dive instructor to fund the next plane ticket. Then I got married, had two boys, g…

This was a five week trip through parts of Central America. I spent most of my time in Guatemala. I had a loose plan that included Antigua, Tikal, El Mirador, islands in Belize and Copan in Honduras.

Theres no other holy week in the world like Guatemala city. a few pics for u to enjoy, and remember if ur ever here, that week, would be the most memorable ever. Guatemala is so rich in traditions, this is just one example, of how for catholics holy week is so important.

ERIC! For me, Antigua doesn't appear on the city list when I am looking to validate - had to add it myself. Anyway... So, Antigua, my third colonial town in Central America and what a place.  It used to be the capital, until they decided to build Guatemala City (seems to be a running theme …

Against my will we took transportes rebuli to get to Antigua. It was suppose to be a pullman service, however, they would still stop to get and drop off more passengers. Although, I have to admit, the seats were a bit more comfortable and the luggage was safer under the bus. The people selling the …

Not only beautiful nature, friendly people but also al lot of experiences during the 21 days traveling through the Central Americans. Because it is a lifetime experience my page is called jacqinmiddenamerika :-)

A few days in Guatemala

No water out of the sink again this morning, this is quite possibly the worst hotel ever, and after staying in Central America for nearly a month, this is saying something.  I took the 8 am and only shuttle to Antigua.  It was very crowded and very uncomfortable. We arrived at 4pm,…

Heather fell in love with Ricardo here in Chico, California. Ricardo was born and raised in Antigua, which was surprisingly a place she had already visited during her traveling nurse days. She already loved everything about Guatemala and now there was even more to love about it... the man of he…

I'd woke up sunday morning (ish) feeling pretty rested. My friday and saturday were spent partying and checking out the sights and sounds of Guatemala City. Now its time to see the rest of the country has to offer. First stop is Antigua. My host told me shuttles to Antigua were available at t…

David and I decided to buy really cheap airline tickets through Spirit Airlines to Guatemala, I was delighted to find that Antigua was so charming and beautiful!
