Courtney: We are now in Antigua! My favourite thing is the fact that i can eat fresh tortillas and avocado and lime for 40 cents!!!!! We made it safe and sound mum, i know you have been worrying, but we made it. The most terriffing part was the constant "National Security is now at Code Orange" annoucements in the Chicago airport. Nothing like trying to keep a population scared... and then i decided that taking the bus from the airport to the bus station to get to antigua would be really easy... "look meagan, the book says it´s just up this road on this bus..."
but the bus station was not there...
Meagan: Quick fix jump in a taxi right? time spent lost meant a solid traffic jam, just like LA, outside of Guatemala City. Not a worry how can you not have fun in a retired school bus with a pounding bass. To be perfectly honest I fell asleep but I´m sure Courtney loved my drool on his shirt. Today has been lovely and relaxing enjoying pupusas (fried up tortilla stuffed with cheese and topped with cabbage, yumm), walking around, and hiking up to a large cross with a view of the city.
Tomorrow we´re taking our adventurous booties where no normal travel agency goes....
Courtney: don´t worry parents, it wont be a problem. So we plan on being here for a few days, then heading to Lago Atitlan for some much needed spanish schooling. After that we are heading Norte. We´ll keep you all up to date. Not much else to add, hope you are all well, take care and much love from Guatemala!!

Glad to hear you guys made it there safely. Por favor, comes muchas tortillas para mi! Em and I are talking about a vacation at the end of session and she has mentioned Costa Rica. When do you guys expect to arrive there?
Meg--that talk we had a few days before you left....I think you may have been right. Thanks for the advice lil' sis:)
Have fun, be safe, love you.
NOT okay to put a picture up of you in an ambulance and not explain it!
Good to see my Big brother is alice and well!!! Some nice pics there guys! I never thoguht I'd see the day I saw Courtney huntin' squirrels... That was an eye opener!!!
Good to see you are both having fun and enjoying yourselves so much!
Thanks kids for the quick reassurance. Not really sure about the adventures to where a travel agent wouldn't go! Fortunately with our little adventure to the big island I haven't had time to really worry and by now I'm assuming you're safely tucked up in spanish school.
Luv ya
