We had a really relaxing time in Quito, we got to catch up with our friend Mark from Philly that we met in Patagonia, and said good bye to our Tucan buddies, because we were leaving South America and going to Guatemala woohoo :) After Sam had some minor dramas at the airport (being singled out for a bag check and having to go all the way back through customs and security check we made it safely onto the plane.... where a drunk guy in front of us (it was 6am in the morning by the way) managed to power spew all over the window, himself and the two people in front of him before the plane had even taken off!! EEEEEWWWW.....
Anyway we eventually made it to Guatemala, stopping through Panama on the way (looked pretty from the plane) and bused it down to Antigua, a gorgeous little place with cobble-stoned streets and innumerable ruins of churches and old buildings dating back centuries from when the Spanish first arrived surrounded by 3 volcanoes. We pretty much did nothing except eat delicious delicious food, the restaurants were incredible, especially after our South American fare we'd been eating for the last 2 months...and play a lot of cribbage on the rooftop watching the sun set everyday...
