I wish I had the power to stop time.

Having had the time of my life driving around Costa Rica, I decided it was time to try it again somewhere new. During my previous trip in Mexico City I made a friend and invited her to join me on this exciting endeavor through Guatemala. However, as we travelers are acutely aware of, plans always change, like they did in this case. Part of the fun of traveling though is being open to these changes and seeing where they will lead you.

I wish I had the power to stop time.

Mel and I left a wakeup call for 7AM, as we wanted to take full advantage of the Guatemalan sun and our hotel's pool.  However, Mother Nature decided otherwise, since when looked out the window after receiving the early morning call all I could see were grey clouds.  Thus, we decided to sleep a little more.  I awoke before Mel did and quietly slipped into the huge bathtub.  I knew that I had a stressful day of traveling ahead of me and what better way to start the day off relaxed than by taking a bubble bath.  It also afforded me the time to reflect on my short, but amazing trip.  I truly believe that Guatemala is a hidden gem in this world.  My trip there was completely based on a whim, but it ended up being one of my favorite countries that I have ever visited.  Next time I will definitely visit the Mayan ruins in Tikal and the deserted beaches.
