Lanquin

I am in Lanquin, which is a small town near Coban. The attraction here is a piece of heaven called Semuc Champey, which means Natural Bridge in Kiche dialect (the local Maya dialect). That´s because there is a river flowing under some beautifull bathes. I am staying in El Retiro, in dorms with Oded (whose going back to US next week) and another British girl. The Hostel has Americans, Dutch, British and of course Israelis. Last night they served dinner and it was very nice.
This keyboard has letters wiped off it, ufff...

I left Lanquin to Rio Dulce with Roy, Jamie and Laura. We stopped to change bus in El Estor, where we were surrounded by several curious locals. In this picture you can see Jamie in the middle. Jamie is a product of 28 years of American culture. Maybe that is why she likes to travel Guatemala with a plastic dog on wheels. On the left it is a local child staring astonishly at Jamieand at her dog alternately, incapable of grasping why would a modern looking lady act the same like him. So he grabbed the dog by his collar and started walking him around, too.

Mosquito net on my bed in Rio Dulce (Hotel Tijax). My roommate found a dead yellow spider near his pillow. Hotel Tijax is on the bank of lake Rio Dulce. All the place is made of wood cabanos 1 meter above the marshy ground.
