Easter Break
We kicked off our 2 week Easter break with a morning stroll in the rain with our packs on headed for the boat across to Guatemala. After a little hiccup at Belize Immigration (turns out we had overstayed what our passports allowed and were illegal immigrants), we caught a bus to what we thought was the town of Rio Hondo. It turned out that we were dropped off a few miles from the actual town and were left on the road in the sweltering Guatemalan heat. We started trucking down the road, but it didn’t take long for us to realize there was no way we were making it to the town in the heat. After thankfully getting a ride to town, we used our very broken Spanish and charade skills to get beds for the night. We ended up having our own little building in a Guatemalan resort, complete with a huge pool to cool off in for a whooping $14 each. We ventured out in the town in search of dinner, and we quickly realized that all of the little restaurants lining the streets were cooking the exact same thing over a fire. We still don’t know what it was we ate, but it was sure tasty and was only a couple of bucks each. Despite a soggy and bumpy start, things were looking up in Guatemala.
