Since my visitor's visa expires every 90 days, I was forced to leave Honduras for a couple days and go to a country that does not share a border with Honduras. Sarah and I met up in Belize and traveled through Guatemala for a week. I had a fun time with her and really enjoyed seeing more of Central America.
Guatemalan culture is very different from Honduras in many ways, for example, in their dress. These men are sporting the typical outfits of a town near Lago Atitlan.
The women also wear sashes around their waist to tie on their skirts. All of the clothing was very colorful and beautiful to see. I really enjoyed visiting the markets and eating lots of fresh fruit. One day I ate an entire pineapple by myself!
These are the shoes we bought at the market before our hike on the volcano -- in addition to spicing up our photos on the hike, these babies saved our other shoes from getting melted on the volcanic rock.
View from hike to Volcan Pacaya -- we took the night hike, which was a great way to spend our last night enjoying some breathtaking views of the Guatemalan landscape.
