Right off, brother


Levi and Alisha came to explore the wonderful world of Guatemala. Alisha said they were doing pretty well- after two days they wanted to find some shade. It was hot. The trip was excellent, Levi really was able to immerse himself into new and strange situations and didn't care that he didn´t know the language. We asked for a cab ride to a waterfall and I was astounded, none of the taxi drivers wanted to take me...in fact they referred me to someone else who quoted me $125 which I walked away laughing at. We found a bus for $2 by chance. We kind of snuck in, saving us a lot of money-we think. It was all a little shady.


Levi ventured into the world of the strangest of the strange of street food. Meatpies from a bucket. But the hightlight was Rio Dulce. The water was perfect and so we took some time to kayak, swim and take funny pictures.

Amoung many stories was with a Belician who had some trouble at US imigration because he encountered some "high-level-bullshit," called the officer a "fool," and drove a "drug truck." Meaning it had tinted window and a stereo.
