Palenque

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007
I thought San Cristobal was a little funky, but that was because I hadn’t been to Palenque yet.  We had heard from other travelers that a place called the Mayabell was the place to stay.  In our camping ... [Continue reading this entry]

Our Return to Mexico

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

We ended up in Huehue and it was quite a bit different than we were expecting.  It was a very raw, real Guatemalan city, with not too much to see and enjoy.  Maybe it was just our anticipation ... [Continue reading this entry]
