our last day in lanquin, we took inner tubes down this river that is the color of jade. you can see the green junglish mountains along the way and a few cows grazing and some kids playing in the water. we met a couple from seattle and a guy from canada who went down the river with us. the canadian kept running into trees for some reason.
later we went on a tour of the cave in lanquin, they aren´t sure how many kilometers it goes according to the guide, who was an 18 year old jokester, so i´m not sure i trust him, they don´t know how far it goes. we saw places where the mayans do a lot of spiritual ceremonies and they had some hokie signs up where they would try to say that some rock formation looked like the virgin mary, but really to me it just looked like a rock... we had to do a bit of ¨bouldering¨ in the caves and that was fun. a little scary, but fun. then at the end, at the time when the bats leave, we stood and were swarmed by bats! it was crazy, with the shadows it seemed like twice as many, but i´m sure there were atleast one thousand. pretty cool.
i´m posting a picture of the hostels guatemalan fiest. i had vegetarian cause the sign for meat said huevos del toro, aka bull balls, but it was a joke, cause i didn´t see any. the food was yummy.
