good ol' guatemala. this place was really cool, except for a few incidents. camera equipment getting stolen, and oh yeah getting a gun pointed at us during a hold up for our stupid cell phones, yeah the cell phones we didn't have on us. rick took one for the team and gave up his wallet with a drivers licence, amex card, and twenty bucks. so thanks rick for saving us. i hope that guy that pointed that gun at us has shot himself in the leg, hit an artery and couldn't get to the hospital. other than that it was great driving all over the country in a sweet minivan. thanks for driving stan. since the last post we went to a market in chichi and they had everything and anything one would want to purchase. i found a lovely machette. it is great. then we headed to tikal to the mayan ruins. it was cool to hike up them. watched the sunset from atop temple 4. it was great. i am was so thankful to be back in the states. i need a trip like this every couple years to realize how lucky we are to live where we do. but don't think i will make it back to guatemala. to many other places to visit. so.....i will try to update this again soon. cheers
