yesterday we took an 8 hour bus ride with a bunch of israeli´s and finally ended up in lanquin. i have developed a cold, which for a solid half day was convinced was gengue fever...however my hypochrondriac tendencies have fallen because i´m not spewing blood, and i have a runny nose which is not a symptom. i think its because of the rapid change from 60 degrees and raining to 80 or 90 and humid. also last night after dinner while having a beer at la tienda, you have to stay to give them back the bottle...i felt like i was going to pass out. so i sat on the floor for like 10 minutes, the cute four year old girl who´s family owns the store sat down across from me and waved and smiled the entire time. then a bug stung my right big toe.
it is much more like i imageined guatemala over in these parts. very tropical and beautifully green and mountains galour. we are staying at an awesome hostel that looks like a resort with little thatched roofed bungalow huts, tropical flowers, on the river, with a yummy and reasonably priced restaurant and bar. the owner of the bar is from baltimore, she worked in software engineering after college, then moved to belize, met a lovely carribean man and opened this bar in paradise. pretty cool. although, don´t worry, í´m not really interested in following suit. i was just laying in a hamock and a mini cow cam up and licked my leg. because i´m feeling sick, we decided to stay here an extra day. we went to semuc champey national park and pools this morning and swam and hiked. it was pretty gourgeous to say the least. tomorrow we´re going to go caving with bats!
