i’ve had a chance to upload some vids to youtube. this is one of my favorites! walking down long beach in livingston, guatemala (a garifuna community) we came across these boys bedecked in gallo beer banners. they got some moves!
All together I spent about 2 weeks in Antigua. I am glad I spent a day there after semana santa celebrations ended so I was reminded of what it’s like during mellower times. It is a bit of a Spanish colonial Disneyworld, but as I said, to a somewhat weary traveler it is a good place to recharge.
I also needed that last day in Antigua to get rid of my traveler trots. Sorry to be indelicate ☺. After a 3.5 months on the road I had my first stomach problems. If anything I’m surprised it didn’t happen sooner since I eat all kinds of veggies – whether they or cooked or peeled or not – and I brush my teeth with the water and take ice. I think I almost started testing how far I could go. Kinda silly. Anyhoo – I was fortunate once more that my illness was not bi-directional. I tried to let it “clear” on it’s own but broke into my cipro stash after a week. Overnight it was better so I guess I had some houseguests.
I had been considering how to get to san cristobal do las casas for a few days. I was ready to get into mexico and san cristobal sounds like a good base for day-trips throughout Chiapas so my best option was a shuttle since the trip is 8 hours if you have no complications (I add that last caveat after experience ☺). Travel agencies seemed to have one of 2 prices posted: $45 or $65. Both said they had a shuttle direct to san cristobal so I went for the $45 one. I think the difference is that with the $45 shuttle you switch transport at the border which I really don’t mind and I think can make things faster. Maybe the $65 one processes your paperwork but I can tell you there is VERY little hassle at this border crossing and (sacrebleu!) there is no fee to get into MX.
The only complication (other than the german couple – she had sinus problems and couldn’t have any moving air on her and he had a panic attack when we moved to the smaller van) was that there was an accident or landslide or something that required a detour and made our trip longer. 10 hours to be exact. But now I’m in stunning san cristobal and I have a suspicion: it’s better than Antigua!

Just got around to uploading some pics from my excursion to guatemala's carib coast. Me, a journeyman, the girls, polo and our paddler.
