I suppose, after my last post, it would be hard for Guatemala to get worse. If it did, I probably wouldn´t be posting! After arriving it Antigua, I spent a few days recovering my leg and exploring the city. I was hanging out with Babke, the dutch girl who I met in Lanquin and helped me with the doctor. We met Emma, and irish traveler, and the three of us were hanging out. Last weekend, Babke was going to the beach, and Emma and I decided to travel to Lago Atilan together. It was a mellow weekend, super beautiful and Muy tranquilo. Thanks to Emma loaning me her camera, I was able to take loads of pictures. You guys know what a shutterbug I am and being without my camera was making me twitch a bit.

This week, I decided to sign up for a spanish language course. I love traveling in Latin American, and my lack of Spanish is embarrassing. I’ve been taking 6 hours a day of one on one instruction. My brain hurts. But I´ve learned a good amount and am enjoying it. i want to continue studying it when I get home. Kim comes down on Saturday, and is bringing the good camera, and we´re going to travel round the state, so you can expect loads and loads of photos in a week or so.

Scorpion story: After rigging our rafts the night before launching down the Canyon, we went to Marble Canyon Lodge for dinner. They have a gift shop, and Margot fell for a stuffed scorpion. She said ” I hope we see a scorpion!! “ Me: “Well,

Detour in the Mojave on our way to the Grand Canyon

I have a bit of a reputation amongst some friends for having somewhat ambitious travel arrangements. But even by my standards, today felt a little crazy. We woke at 4:45 a.m. Saturday Japan time. Took Metro about an hour to see the tuna auction and

For anyone going to Japan and considering TeamLabs. Teamslabs Planets in Tokyo is a crowded, touristy cash grab, but a well done one and probably worth a visit. TeamLabs in Osaka is a touristy, crowded cash grab, and kinda boring and I’d give it a

Vacation rules. Coke and sushi for breakfast after a 4:45 wake-up.

Today we did a Samurai and Ninja class at the Samurai “museum”. It was a little cheesy and kind of expensive for what it was, but good fun anyway. Margot had long been interested in ninjas and similar, so she was particularly excited, but we
