Touristy Travels.

I'm sorry - I'm being lazy with my blogging, once again!

 My time is dwindling down and I'm now trying to prepare for my sad departure. Taking many photos and soaking up as much time as I can. I although, was blessed by being able to fly up to Tikal National Park on Monday. Tikal was amazing, if you ever get the chance - GO THERE! There are a ton ( literally ) of Mayan Ruins, wildlife (including many monkeys, jaguars, and various tropical birds )  I was lucky enough to have my own tour guide - who spoke English. The ruins were so interesting I could have spent much more time there. My four hours were not nearly enough. Fun fact : it's not 'fun' to put on sunscreen on an incredibly sweaty body. ( It was so hot and humid in Tikal I thought I was going to melt ) Overall, it was an incredibly long day, but I am so glad I went. It was well worth it.

Tikal Ruins. Beautiful!

I forgot to mention that on Sunday I went to Antigua with a few friends. One of whom had never been to Antigua, even after living here in Guatemala for 10 years. It was a must that she went and I felt so lucky to see her enjoying herself - hanging out with friends, fooling around and seeing an absolutely beautiful city. It definitely was a highlight of my month!

It's crazy to think that at this exact time last year I was just graduating high school. For me that is crazy! Feels like such a long time ago - I'm so glad I'm here in Guatemala, I wouldn't change it for the world! 

I love taking photos with Barbara. She is such a little ham and loves photos. Such a sweetie!
