In Antigua, Guatemala

Quick update for yáll.  I´m currently in Guatemala.  Took a 10 hour bus ride day to get here from Mexico a couple of days back.  Let me tell you, chicken busses are NOT the biz.  And the roads in this country is kinda a huge bummer.  LIke rocks, twists, and turns everywhere.  It´s definately NOT fun.  But all that aside, I´m loving Guatemala so far.  The people here are just so nice.  I visited Lake Atitlan.  They are trying to make it one of the natural wonders of the world.  It is certainly gorgeous.  Yesterday I hiked up a volcano with live lava still flowing.  It was hard as fuck let me tell you.  There were horses around and after the first hill I was wishing I hired them.  I had to hike up a crazy hill/mountain before I went to the actual volcano.  There was this RETARDED girl in front of me who thought it´d be a good idea to hike a volcano in jeans and flip flops.  When she stepped in fresh horse shit I couldn´t help but think ¨that´s what you get¨.  Then on the way down no one was prepared to bring a flashlight but me.  I felt like a fucking camp leader with all these imbeciles in flip flops and no torches around me.  But all in all, it was a grand experience.  I have a couple of days left in Guatemala then I´m off to Belize.  I´m leaving the city tomorrow at 5 AM to get an early start though.   Until next time!
