Sorry about all the posts in one day - I was waiting to have access to the photos so they were more substantial posts and so we're pretty behind.
We're currently in Flores, which is a town in the northern region of Guatemala. It's nice and warm here, and we have both gotten sunburnt, which is kind of a nice change from all the cold weather we've had... at least in some ways. Tomorrow we're taking a tour of Tikal, a very large Mayan city in the jungle. I am looking forward to it, except for the leaving at 4:30am part.
Our first hostel here was actually a hotel - technically one of the most upperclass places we've stayed. You know how we can tell? Not only did we have a private bathroom, the bathroom came with toilet paper. And soap. And we got towels. It was the most exciting thing ever. Until, of course, we got home from meeting some people for dinner and found our room to be flooded. That was less than awesome. On the upside, we got a room with a view for the night (I'll post a photo when I can, at least on the photoblog, but this computer isn't reading the camera right now). We switched rooms and are paying 2/3 the price but we can tell we're in a less classy establishment because we have to bring our own supplies to the bathroom.
Tomorrow: Tikal. Next day: bus adventure to El Salvador. Following day: More bus adventure! Stayed tuned... I hope to be contacting you with good news from Nicaragua in a few days.
