Rio Dulce

Hey everyone

So i am sitting here in the little internet area at the Hotel Backpackers, which is operated by casa guatemala. We arrived in guatemala city yesterday, and stayed in a cute little hostel called the hotel fenix. There was a fairly big language barrier, and we were relying on my broken spanish along with lindsays broken spanish. We took a wander through the city and ended up at a protest in the city center. After observing that we went for dinner. We hadnt eaten since the night before with mom, yet i still wasnt that hungry. <we decided to be inside our hostel once it was dark becasue Guatemala city is a fairly skechy place. I fell asleep fairly early and ended up waking up to the sound of a massive truck driving by and honking its horn. that meant i was awake or most of the night. We took a bus from Guatemala City to Rio Dulce today, and tehre was this guy in frfont of me who kept telling me things about the areas we were driving through. Only problem was that I could barely understand him. We got off the bus and had to walk from the bridge to the backpackers with our backpacks and supply bags which weighed like a billion pounds. I hope everything is good on the home front. It is getting close to dinner time and my time limit is almost up.
