Ah, almost nothing beats that feeling of being an expat in a third world country. Last night we sat around with a bunch of English blokes and a Dutch girl. We drank Guatemalan beer and had vegitarian stir fry curry from the cafe Karen has been working at. A girl sat there and strummed guitar, Karen told me she is a professional guitar player from Boston. Everybody talks about where they've been or where they're going... how they're going to make ends meet when they get home. Karen prepared her Chinese tea, and we had a long conversation in Spanish with a local about the Guatemalan liquor (no wine, really only beer), New Mexican chille, and Swiss choclate.

Tommorow we leave for a 4 or 5 day trek from Nebaj to Todo's Santos... a route that illicieted several gasps from locals, but the guides assure us its ok.

Bueno pues, hasta luego.
