Feliz Navidad

It is christmas there are guatemalans in santa masks throwing assorted sweets at passerbyers, and an old man with a giant iron shoulder cannon (that appears to be made with recycled car parts) firing mortars into the air. Guatemalans love explosives, cherry bombs going off at every corner and cheap little fireworks it is quite the scene.

I am now in Lanquin, it is a lovely town 10km away from semuc champey. It is strange how difficult it is to cover distance in Guatemala, as I left Coban I saw a sign that said Lanquin 50km and it took 2 hours to reach there.

In any case all my friends from the pink house have left, Andy is in El Salvador, Devon, Cristina and Leela went back to colorado and I am here in Lanquin.

Happy psychadelic pagan christmas.
