The backpacker's dream: A solo trek to the best islands, beaches, archeological sites, national parks, cities, towns, villages, rainforests, volcanic peaks, and of course fiestas, that Central America has to offer.

I´m tired, but well

Just wanted to let everyone know that I´m doing well and everything is alright. I´m exhausted from a day of travel which brought me from Tikal all the way in northern Guatemala to Coban in central Guatemala. I made it from Livingston to Flores ok, although the bus ride was harrowing. I had a great time in Tikal, bumped into some old friends from Utila and Roatan, and met up with two of my Canadian buddies from Utila as well. The ruins were incredible.

I´ll post soon to fill everyone in on the details. For now I´m going to get some sleep. Tomorrow I´m going to see the Limestone pools and waterfalls of Semuc Champey, and maybe do some spelunking if I have the time. I have not yet decided if I´ll stay in Semuc tomorrow and go to Xela for spanish school a day late on Monday, or if I´ll just spend a few hours in Semuc tomorrow and try to get to Xela directly. Keep in mind that since Tuesday I´ve traveled several hundred (probably close to 1000 now) miles, from Northeastern Honduras to Western Honduras to Eastern Guatemala to Northern Guatemala and now back to the center.

It´s cooler and wetter here, and that´s a nice change I think. It was SO hot in Tikal... and SO buggy. I saw a tarantula the size of my FIST outside of my front door last night!

Details soon...

Much Love

Ben
