El Fin Del Viaje
2008-02-27 21:28:00 El fin del viaje. After Copan, the end of the trip was inevitably drawing near. It sounds silly to say this, but we felt as though we had come full circle, in more ways than one. Not only were we exiting out of the same city we had arrived in nearly 8 weeks before, but this time our perspective of that same city had changed just a bit. This time we weren't so eager to stay away. Nope, this time we were going to spend 3 days in Guatemala City (gasp)! More About: Viaje

A Fright by Candlelight.
2008-02-23 17:58:00 We found ourselves in Copan Ruinas, Honduras around Valentine?s Day and decided to splurge on a nice place and dinner for the occasion. There?s a nice hacienda with 8 rooms scattered about just outside town that prepares gourmet food and runs mainly by candlelight. It?s a complete luxury style bed and breakfast in a rural Honduras setting. We had a great afternoon and by the time the sun set, the entire grounds were covered in candles. Dinner consisted of five amazing courses all served outside under the stars. All was going well until I overheard a mother and daughter telling a story to their friends during the meal. I couldn?t really believe what I was hearing. Do we have to worry about that here?!

The Gringo Tax
2008-02-22 04:22:00 One of the most frustrating parts of traveling in Guatemala is never really knowing the true price of a service ? a bus ride ? or anything for that matter ? a hotel room, a banana, or a shirt. It?s a little something we like to call a ?gringo tax? since there is usually one low price for locals and any various price 2 or 3 times that for gringos. Usually, when bartering for things in the market, we don?t mind it so much because we will only buy it when we reach a price both us, the buyer, and the seller agree with. We both win. The times that it really bothers me is when you are on a bus, the same bus as all the locals, on the same route, but are charged so much more? and you never really know how much more it is.
