Walked around the entire island this morning.  It took a whopping 30 minutes.  Hot day and I finally got my first Gallo beer.  It's advertised as the national beer of Guatemala.  I guess like the Budweiser of America.  Not that there are very many choices here.  Most places charge at least Q12 for a bottle.  Most places the beer prices aren't much if any more than you could buy in the store.  Boy at lunch got our order confused and brought us ...

It was developed as a tourist haven, but if definataly no ca...

Apr 26, 2008 - May 05, 2008
I had breakfast near the waterfront, and my server was able to help me secure a bus out of Flores.  The bus was 200Q to Guatemala City with air condition, which is rare in Guatemala.  So i gets to talking to fellow travellers on the bus, and i get a clue as to why nobody was out and about the night before.  Apparently, Flores is the point of debarkation to the ancient mayan ruins Tikal, which is the most impressive in Central America.  Well, that was the first mistake of m...
