We had a very good travel day so far. The flights were on time, the weather was clear, and the transitions between flights went smoothly. When we arrived in Guatemala City, the bus from our motel was waiting nicely, and we loaded up and made the 5 minute drive to the motel.
Because we arrived so early in the day, our rooms are not yet ready for us. But the lobby is beautiful and comfortable, so it’s not too bad to just wait. We ate lunch in the motel restaurant. It was a delicious buffet that cost about $8 per person. The wait staff was gracious and patient while we tried to communicate with our limited Spanish.
Now Bill and a crew is heading to the bank to change some money over, and I’m getting ready to head to the big store to do some grocery shopping. Then we’ll relax here at the motel before meeting up with the rest of our group tomorrow morning.
So far this has been a very fun adventure. I hope it stays this interesting all the way through.
