Travelling With Sights To See

Last week we said goodbye to our host families in San Juan for the last time and hit the road for a week of traveling through Guatemala. Our first destination? Lanquin, a little Maya village close to the beautiful Semuc Champey. We spent our Monday exploring a cave in the heart of Semuc Champey, swimming in the beautiful turquoise colored pools, and tubing down the Cahabon river. The next day we were off for another long day of travel to a town called Flores. Time there was spent swimming in the lake and visiting Tikal and all its Mayan Ruins. Those who were brave enough got the opportunity to hold a very large and very real tarantula as well as climbing some of the most beautiful Mayan Ruins in Guatemala. From there we traveled to Finca Ixobel where we spent a few days relaxing in hammocks and playing some Ultimate Frisbee. With wind blowing through our hair and the sun on our skin, we made our way to our final destination, Denny's Beach on Lake Isabel. Swimming in the lake, Canoeing, mud fights in the water and laying in hammocks over looking the water are just a few of the things that we did at the beach. It was a great end to our week of travel. Now we are headed back to Antigua for our last week in Guatemala. Time is flying by like crazy! We are excited to see our family and friends back at home but it's hard to think that our time here in Guatemala and our time together as a group is coming to an end. See you in one week Canada!
