We left Flores and headed south towards Honduras. The two days have been slow due to rain. Guatemala is green for a reason – all the rain. It is indeed a tropical rainforest. The road has been good especially with a nice shoulder. The truck and bus drivers are more courteous and we get many good honks. We don’t see the roads patrolled as in Mexico but feel very safe here.
This is very interesting and I hope you are finding that the water there is better than the deserts and foreign countries that are polluted. I wonder how the animals fare in the water all day and night. Your hotel looks very exotic and I know you are finding the jungle filled with interesting critters. Good to see you have experienced some local flavors. Take care! andee
