guatemala

40 minutes, less time than it takes to get through Miami Int airport. Less than $5 and a bag of sweets (candy) to a kid who wanted to polish the credibility off my bike,
A whole new country beckons.

Initial thoughts: evejn greener than Mexico, less wind, worse roads, worse trucks.
Headed for lago atilan, Mayan centre up in the hills. Three volcanoes and what could be a vast crater lake but probably isn’t.
Mayan rather than Spanish is spoken.

Slight problem, no electicity for most. Of yesterday, so atm didn’t work, so very little cash. Two peaches and a coke were all I could afford last night. Will try again in an hour or so, then may have to visit the best hotel in town, $40 noche, to see if they’ll exchange a few more dollars.
