For my last days in Guatemala, the plan was to regroup, and eat and shop in Antigua, and climb volcan Pacaya. I decided to ‘go big’ and spring for a $30US a night hotel. Ever helpful, the Lonely Planet had many recommendations in this price range, so I picked one in a promising part of Antigua. After spending 3+ weeks in hotels in the $5-7US range, I was looking forward to see what $30 would bring.
Hotel Posada de San Pedro was a real score. Really beautiful gardens, a nicely appointed room with nice tiles, and a SUPER hot shower with three fluffy white towels. Horray!!!
Funny thing, as I was checking in, someone called my name. It was Sarah and Dan, the same couple from San Francisco that I had been randomly running into all around Guatemala. We got caught up and agreed that now that we had run into each other 3 separate times in Guatemala, we surely would never see each other in our neighborhood in SF. Time will tell.
Maybe what will happen is that you won’t see Sarah and Dan in SF, but then you’ll be in the airport on your way to Pittsburgh or wherever and you’ll run into them there, on their way someplace else.
Thanks for putting all the pictures on the site. They make all the more interesting. Although Dad and I have really enjoyed your descriptions. Good Job.
Where did they go? Ever find yourself alone and it hits you? How did you get here? Where have you been? Where are you going? It almost spooks you, you want to put one foot in front of the other, get into motion just to avoid being creeped out.
