Our first stop after Guatemala City (thank god …

Goal #1 - Fluent in Spanish Goal #2- Travel Central And South America for 8 months. Maybe enough money maybe not.

So such luck - we…

Long, non-stop minibus shuttle ride only stopped about 20 times on our way towards Semuc Champey.  Our 7hr trip only took 10.5 hours.  I guess we were more prepared than the people that thought it was only going to take 5 hours.  Driving his girlfriend around and stopping at the mall…
