Yesterday Rebecca and I took a journey to Antigua, about an hour and a half trip from Comalapa, by way of two chicken buses. We found a nice little place to stay for cheap, with kitchen and a pretty view of el volcan, and
then we explored the city and all the shops.
Rebecca left this morning, and so begins my solo journey. I found a nice hostel where I will hopefully meet more people--so far the only girl in the dorm is sick and getting tested for malaria and dengue today. I took a bed in the next room over. . .
I went in search for a cafe that claims to serve mate, but instead found a nice little coffee shop and sat and talked to the guys working there for a good hour or two. I now have a list about two pages long of musica latina that I will have to look into at some point!
Anyway, I miss you all. Hopefully I will find so great adventure to go on from Antigua, maybe hike a volcano or check out a macadamia nut or coffee farm . . .
Hi, Anne. Wonderful to see you in Guatemala! I know you'll have terrific experiences there. I'm very curious about your trip . . . I'll keep watching your blog for more details.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a chance, you and friends might enjoy a simple inn on the shore of Lake Atitlán called Arca de Noë,

Love to you! Corlies
You look beautiful!!!!
