Nov 9-10 9:50 AM

Hey guys, yesterday was a day well spent, found a nice running loop that I plan to hit again today, mostly uphill it is great to go running in the hot weather then cool down in a nice cold shower.

Met a bunch of irish and english chaps here, apparently irish people come to central south america very often. Had some hilarious conversations, and got a bit ripped in the market as usual, lady charged me an extra 3 Q for my meal, I just bit my lip though, I am going to have to stop taking bullshit soon lol.

In any case I met a super cool british lady, named Jenna she shares my fervor for excercise, but she has gone off to study spanish for the next week, meanwhile I bought a ticket to Panajachel, and the guy there ripped me too, said it was 60Q then charged me 70Q but I think he felt kinda bad because he spent ten minutes afterwards telling me about the area and trying to help me out a bit. In any case next time I write it will be most likely in santa cruz lago Atitlan.
