It's done.over.acabado.terminado. Or is it? I'm not sad to be leaving. I had a great adventure... just like the brochure said! The mayans are warm and beautiful. I truly enjoyed talking with them (they are so cute in the way they talk, many speak a little english) and learning about their culture, but it wasn't only about them! I met Guatemalans, Belizians and Mexicans. In every one of those countries, I met people that broke the mold. I didn't need to travel ...

He's an ex-US-military who was trained to drop the bomb on China, as such he never did see any action in any war. He says he a peaceful guy lol. He then explained that he got the island back in '69 ...

My first week has come and gone and I'm now writing this post from my tour bus accompanied by 13 other travelers plus my tour guide (I forget his name :P). Some 4 hours till we arrive in Flores wihich is an island city from what I understand with deep blue waters. :)) Should be nice.
