Well we survived the bus trip from Flores to Guatemala city. I feel that everyone needs to experience an over night bus in central America before u have lived. You start off in the local bus station where every eye is on u uncomfortable is an under statement. Once u get on the bus u hand your luggage over and cross your fingers it will make it! if u have to pee the door doesn't close so being a woman makes it very difficult to squat and hold the door, oh did I mention the light didn't work either:) needless to say I held my bladder for the next 9hrs. Men definitly have it alot easier in this department Glenn could just stand and the light worked for him, so he didn't have to hold his bladder, just the door. Make sure u stay asleep cause when u open your eyes and the bus is passing a tanker and another one is head on u want to be asleep again. All in all we arrived safe and sound and our mini bus did arrive in Guatemala city to take us to Antigua. We are enjoying Antigua it is a cute city with old buildings, lots of character and great restaurants and places to see. It is surrounded by 4 volcanos which is pretty cool. The people have been super nice and we have been able to use lots of Spanish. We meet with our tour group tonight and head to Copan Honduras tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Adios!
