One step off the deep end
Greetings from Guatemala city folks. We made it safe and sound, if not for a little craziness. Same story like anyplace, taxi cab drivers trying to screw around with you a little. 15 quetzales somehow became 50 (we at least know our numbers) for roughly a 2 minute drive, but luckily we were two males who were both bigger than him, and the guy finally gave up after a couple of half hearted demands. Our ¨hotel¨comes straight up with barb wire on the courtyard walls, and master locks on the gates, but its a nice place inside with really friendly people. Fried black beans and eggs, and we´re off to start the next adventure, getting to Antigua! We´ll holler with some pictures when we figure that out. For now, Ciao

Rah, rah, glad you made it! Thank goodness you have those higher Math skills in place! I look forward to seeing the sites. Love, AKM (aka-Mom)
Hey Alan,
Glad you made it safe and sound! It sounds like you have a similiar story as does everyone when they travel abroad. Thanx for the water bottle from Alaska, that was a great suprise when i came home from six hrs of class yesterday. I hope you have a blast out there! I will talk to you soon.
Love your little sis.
p.s. Avoid the CLAP
Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures! Be safe on your M3 Tour. Love, MMV (aka-Godmother)
Mack,
I'm going to need these stories to get more exciting because I need a little pick me up during the work day. Glad you made it without too much incident.

p.s. you should engage in activities that would make your sister's p.s. somewhat of a concern and then write about that.
I hope everyone knows this is a family friendly page. That being said, here are a few sayings you might need to know:
Quite te tu ropa
Bessame ahora
Well I guess those are the only ones you really need to know. But sometimes it's best not to say anything at all...
Last post - t00w. Pictures please.
Greetings from Logan where I am sitting in a crystal reports training for 2 days. We are on break and I am sharing your humourous comments with the class, can't stop laughing at some points. Didn't probably realize the vast audience your page would have. I love this idea, welcome to the 21 century, finally! Please be sure to ignore the sister comments coming from a concerned matriarch. Love, AKM
Shared your pictures with the group. Everyone here at the training thinks you're cute, sorry they are all over 40 or if younger already married. One person commented she has a daughter in Denver that she should introduce to you, she is busy playing the guitar. Beautiful shots and thought provoking commentary. I'm guessing we are going to be seeing some of those coffee beans when you return. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the adventure, Love and prayers, AKM
Grretings from the capitol of CA! My travels don't seem to be matching up to the adventure of yours. Heading off to a PS where kids get to be kids today, we were told to expect to get paint on us! Yah! I haven't had a chance to check out the rest of the pictures, will try this evening. Stay safe! Love and prayers, AKM
