planes suck part II

January 04 10pm
So we made it. I lied before when I said I was ready for more flying. I was stuck in the window seat with two loud and obnoxious and I think drunk Americans. The Guata airport was a little confusing and one of my bags went missing – till Dave found it standing on the other side of the room of the baggage claim.

I was expecting the absolute worst and was willing to live with it, but I was surprised how nice the city was. Its clean for the most part. There’re no shacks, not too many potholes and a total of 3 burger kings. It felt almost like a sunny whalley. Of course, I’ve only seen the nicest part of the country so far, but still…

Our first Guatemalan meal was chicken chow mien with sliced bread – not the re-re-refried beans I thought it would be.

Now that I’ve been fed, have a real bed to sleep in and had an amazing shower (which crystal would find a little scary – the showerhead is an electric heater which if we ever touch, me might get electrocuted) I want to crash.
