Guatemala & Fotos

Yup, that´s a real live Scarlet Macaw
Copán

Mayan god of wind

Of course one of my favorites, the Mayan ball court

I got up early and crossed into Guatemala this morning. It was blisteringly hot on the bus but mercifully the seats weren´t too small for my gringo legs and I surprisingly had two seats to myself for most of the trip. I am now in Puerto Barrio, a bustling and grungy little port town on the Caribbean coast. As I got off the bus I was greated by a man with a Caribbean English accent who introduced himself as ´Uncle Willy,´and he works helping ´you guys out with things.´ He actually helped me find a decently priced room (for a small fee, of course) but I declined his help in procuring other things which I assume would be prostitutes or drugs. I am on a ferry tomorrow to Belize and as promised, some pictures.
