Trip to Guatemala!

  

  

Since our group had a free day, a few of us decided to take a bus ride over to Guatemala. Here, we got to go ZIP-LINING!  Our guide, Hernando, was super fun and allowed us to go down the zip-line Superman Style and UpsideDown (which I know what you're thinking... yes, it is NOT allowed in the U.S.!). After going through the incredible zip-line course, we took the bus over to the Guatemalan Island/Town of Flores where we had lunch and shopped around. It was beautiful! 

When we arrived back in San Ignacio, we found out that there was a FAIR going on to celebrate the start of Easter!! How great! It felt much like the NC State Fair: all kinds of vendors, (rickety) rides, and food. This picture is taken from the top of the Ferris Wheel, which by the way, goes EXTREMELY FAST....When I got off, I told the guy controlling it how Ferris Wheel's don't go nearly as fast in America. He responded with a shrug and said, "Welcome to Belize!"
