on the road to panama: Groovin in Guatemala

Tim and I are in Flores, Guatemala. We are booked into the Tikal Inn in Tikal for a couple of days. We planned to leave for Belize yesterday but Tim´s moto is having mechanical difficulties so we are here until it´s back on the road. The Tikal Inn is beautiful and has a pool so life is good. The moto is in the hands of a good machanic with Chinango capabilities...this means he can make parts from tin cans to get us on the road. We´ll see how it goes.

The return trip is going really well, we are balancing the desire to rush home with the want to make sure we see a bit of the countries we visit. I think the return will find us enjoying the Mayan ruins along our route. We are trying not to go too far off the main road....whateverrr that is. Yesterday we took in the Tikal ruins with facination and admiration in our hearts. These Mayan people built incredible cities with water systems, dwellings with ventilation / running water and temples and buildings of incredible size with amazing artistry displays. I hope you get the picture from the ones I share.
