And then...

So, it's been a while since we've written. We'll try to update you quickly.

We ended up staying in San Pedro for another week and took Spanish lessons at San Pedro Spanish school and stayed with a local family. (see picture of us with our teacher) AND THEN we hopped on a crazy chicken bus and about 4 hours later we were in Guatemala City. AND THEN we decided to get on ANOTHER bus and trek another 6 hours to Rio Dulce. AND THEN we were really tired and grumpy and checked into the BackPackers Hostel. AND THEN we took another bus to "Agua Caliente" (Hot Water)which is a really awesome water fall that is...well...hot, but a cool river flows underneath it, so you can imagine how weird and interesting that is. AND THEN we hopped on ANOTHER bus for 4 hours to Flores. (Oh, did I mention that for 3 of those 4 hours we were STANDING on the fullest and hottest bus I have ever seen? ya.) AND THEN we took a taxi to El Remate, the hottest place on the planet. No breeze, the lake was warm and muddy, and we had run out of money so...in short, we fought a lot. AND THEN we went to Tikal. (another mayan ruin) Very cool to see but still...freakin' hot. We did get to see monkeys and toucans 'cause the ruins are in the middle of the jungle. AND THEN we took a morning bus into Belize AND THEN a water taxi to Caye Caulker where we are right now. On the coast again! Phew.
