Reaaaaady.....GO! Guatemala in Six Days!

Last week, I headed to Antigua, Guatemala where to meet my family-friend Davey Gulick who was refreshing his Spanish there for three weeks.  We packed six days with exploration.  Above is a picture of our favorite restaurant of the trip, Quesos y Vino in Antigua!

Antigua is overflowing with historical jewels!

Ruins around every corner!

We then took a bus to Lago de Atitlan.  I loved waking early to catch the locals fishing on the lake!

Above are other locals waiting for the boat to take them to work.

We then took an overnight bus to Tikal to visit more mind-blowing Mayan ruins.

The next morning, we hopped a bus to Rio Dulce.  We took a two hour boat ride to Livingston, a village on the Caribbean.  Houses like this lined the river. 

We spent a couple days with people from Germany, Spain, and Canada.  Here they are drinking fresh coconut milk on Playa Blanca!

Check out the uniquely bright and beautiful blossoms!  I love the tropics!
