- Over The Lip Of The Hill, To Spill And RollAfter a glorious lie in, it was that time that comes to anybody raised in England, but finds themselves in parts foreign for months on end; time for a fry up breakfast. I sat in the Alegre and ordered the veggie Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- An Exquisite Example Of Cause And Effect Felt inexplicably rough today seeing as I hardly drank anything yesterday night, but I didn’t feel as bad as Myra did. She was having her wisdom teeth coming through and had to finish the class early beacause of the pain. Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- Like A Heterosexual At An Elton John ConcertHad my first real trouble with Spanish today, something called Objeto Directo y Indirecto , which is a form of shortening questions and answers when speaking casually. Its confusing because it completely rearranges the syntax that I, as a person Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- Old Men With Cowboy Hats And Well Worn Faces I woke up a full two hours before I was due to start my lesson today, a personal record. I took advantage of this, and the fact that the market would still be in full swing at this time in Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- Murdering, By The Million, My Brain Cells With AlcoholI heaved myself out of the bed hammock at about 11 in the morning, aching, and managed to stumble to my room; I thought in the day light I would stand a better chance of opening the padlock. When I got Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- A Rather Mentally Taxing ConversationI managed to get back unmolested by the police last night, not too late, just enough sleep to function well enough for my lesson. I enjoy my classes with Myra. A large part of the lessons basically consist of talking, in Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- He Returned With A Jerry Can Of Unleaded And An Impish SmileMonday, back to school. Well, up the stairs just out of the door to my room, and back to the table on the roof in glorious Guatemalan sunshine, encircled by green mountains and with a view of a lake once Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- God's Own Strobe LightWoke up feeling much better. It's a Sunday today so no class for me today which has allowed me to have a lie in thank God/Buddha/Shiva/Ganesh/Krishna/Zenu or no one in particular depending on your personal predilection. I sat and chatted with Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- HungoverIts in the title really. Very little else happened. A complete write off. Barely made it through the lesson, then crashed for the better part of the day. Too many nights in a row drinking and not enough hours in a Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- A Variation Of The Classic British Joke Format Managed to wake up before the class started, just. I was up and ready by ten to nine. I grabbed my books and headed up to the roof. I was being taught by an indigenous woman called Myra today. She was Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- An Open Bottle Of Mezcal Balanced On Her HeadI opened my eyes to see that the clock read 8.45am. I groaned. I had foolishly agreed to start my class at 9am. I dragged my sorry self and my possessions out of the hostel and into the path of an Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- "Dew Leh No Mo" On All Patriots And NationalistsGot up an hour after my alarm went. I hadn’t been that drunk last night, but it is rare that I stay out that late whilst I am travelling. I payed Alberto for another night, he smiled and thanked me. He Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- Gringo/Farang/Gai-Jin/Quai Lo. (Delete As Applicable)Got up just after nine, packed quickly, then checked out and headed straight to the bank to change traveller cheques. After a quick breakfast bagel and coffee, I jumped into a collectivo for Minerva bus terminal. Once there, I easily Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- Powerful Machiavellian LogicI got breakfast quickly at Utz Hua as I had arranged to meet Umu so she could show me where the supermarket was and hang out. I didn’t really need the supermarket seeing as I had decided to leave tomorrow Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- Babylon Is Burning In XelaOne month away from home. Do I have one? A good question. Jay had emailed me yesterday and said he had found a place but was yet to move in. No photos or details on how much it would cost Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- XelaFound a really nice place to have breakfast; Utz Hua , which specialised in Guatemalan food and had a thatched indoor roof. As it served local food it made up for my minor discretion of getting Indian last night. I Posted by 108 in Still thinking... | Sep 30, 2010
- Résumé des jours 2 à 8Résumé des jours 2 et 3 au Guatemala (6 et 7 septembre) Nous avons finalement pu partir mardi matin à la première heure (6h) vers San Rafael, malgré les nombreux derrumbes (glissement de terrain), nous pouvions emprunter une route alterna Posted by Bamboune in Écologie sans Frontière: Guatemala | Sep 16, 2010
- GuatemalaIf I want to start writing about all the places in the world where I had been I would write first about Guatemala, my country. Guatemala is the most cosmopolitan country in Central America. We have Mexico in the north and Posted by Marivi in Marivi around the world! | Aug 31, 2010
- If I survive this trip without a parasite...It seems that 'safety' is not a word found in the Guatemalan dictionary. Nor is 'punctuality'. Good thing we're backpackers and tend not to take these things very seriously either, then. After circling our hostel at least 9 times in Posted by a.crawshaw in Shark Bytes | Aug 10, 2010
- I can't give you lava, but how about a landslide? So we´re in Guatemala. Surrounded by landslides. Just thought I´d kick off with that opener to put your minds at ease. Arriving into Guatemala City airport was an interesting experience, where we couldn´t work out whether the water buckets strategically Posted by a.crawshaw in Shark Bytes | Aug 8, 2010
- Volcan Santa MariaAs I mentioned when in my first post, on my first weekend in Xela (elevation 7,733 feet) I somehow got myself talked into climbing 12,000 foot Volcan Santa Maria. Even better, I agreed to it despite the fact that I Posted by oangel99 in poco a poco | Aug 7, 2010
- Semuq Champey and AntiguaWell it would seem that poco a poco is proving to be a very fitting title for my blog, as it now also refers to the fact that I am only able to write updates "little by little." A lot Posted by oangel99 in poco a poco | Jul 25, 2010
- My first post!From now on, I am going to try to write down and describe my experiences traveling around the world. I knew this was my passion since the firs time I took an airplane to my first destination: Colombia. I had the Posted by Marivi in Marivi around the world! | Jul 22, 2010
- El Mercado de ChichicastenangoOn Sunday, I visited the famous market at Chichicastenango with some of my fellow students at Migel Angel Asturias Spanish School (spanishschool.com). Our guide was Martine, the same guide from the Volcan Sanata Maria climb (that I still need Posted by oangel99 in poco a poco | Jul 6, 2010
