After a big breakfast and a group picture, I said goodbye to my fellow classmates. They are headed back to Guatemala City this afternoon on a looong bus ride and then tomorrow they are heading back to Syracuse. Pray that they have a safe bus ride and flight. My time in Guatemala with the group flew by! While I am excited to begin my work for ProLiteracy, I would be lieing if I was to say that I did not have a big ol´knot in my stomach as I saw the bus drive away this morning!
¡Adiòs mis amigos!
Anyway, yesterday as a group we headed to the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal. They were extrodinary. Very pretty. I´ll let the pictures do the talking but it was a fantastic way to end my time with teh group and a very good way to say goodbye to Guatemala.
¡Encuentrè las turistas!
However I am staying two more days here in Flores, a small island just outside of San Elena. I need to check in with an old ProLiteracy partner. I believe they are about two miles away from the hostel I am staying at. Then On Wednesday I should make the long bus ride up to Mexico City. This afternoon I am going to head to the bus station to work out the best route. If I can´t find an easy route I suppose I will just bike my way there... just kidding dad!

ReplyDeleteThose pictures of the city are awesome!
ReplyDeleteHave you been able to watch any world cup during your travels??? USA plays Friday!
those pictures are super sweet. so clean and such green grass, it's just spooky to think that it used to be a thriving place with people of an entirely separate culture from the rest of the world, so many hundreds of years ago. World Cup, ya Mike! USA! also...you definitely weren't kidding about biking there, heh
