Flores, Belize

So I just arrived in Flores, Belize today with the intention of caving but just my luck there’s a tropical storm and it’s raining massively and flooding everywhere. Good news..I had an awesome bacon cheeseburger today.

It’s there’s a storm I’m not sure what my next plans are.

Quick update on other news. I went to Tikal yesterday to see the ruins. I got to climb to the top of some so that was nice.

Unfun news, I stupidly walked back to my place by myself the other day in Guatemala without my pepperspray or anything. I got lost and Antigua is not a fun place to get lost in. Everywhere is locked up and all the roads have no signs. Luckily I eventually found my way back. As I was preparing to sleep no later than 15 minutes after I got back I heard what I thought was hysterical laughing coming from outside just to is actually being a group of teenage girls crying because they were attacked in the street by some crazy man. I had to get my first aid kit and give them some alcohol wipes and bandages. So…i guess I was lucky nothing happened to me but shit I shouldn’t walk around alone in the dark anymore.

Also, a lot of things here in Central America (e.g. FOOD) cost either the same or MORE than the states.  I’ve pretty much ran out of guatemalan currency the other day and because I was going to leave to Belize I did not want to go back to the ATM and pay like $12 to take out a few bucks so somehow I survived on roughly 9 bucks for two of my last days in Guatemala.  All I ate was snickers and a cup noodle yesterday, haha.  I feel very accomplished for making it to Belize.
