We made it to Lanquin!

As you can tell from the title we are now in Lanquin about 10km west of Semuc Champey. Since the last entry we have been at la iguana perdida. For claire's boirthday we went to a hotel called casa del mundo in jabalito which is the next town over from santa cruz, it was very beautiful and hopefully someday we can go back. They sang happy birthday to claire, in english and spanish. It was very nice.
Also every saturday at la iguana perdida they have a coss dressing party every saturday, which we attended. They also have a "walk off" competition, which I attended, and took second place. Im pretty sure I deserved frist place, but maybe it was too much.
We had a lot of fun there and met some really cool people. Its wierd to keep meeting people, becoming friends, and then just as you get to know them, you leave. But, every place that we have gone we have met people to hang out with so at least there are replacements. I have updated our map as well which shows where we have gone so far. If you click on the different pins there is a litlle blurb there as well. Claire got a bit of a stomach problem, but we got some medicine today so hopefully that is in its last throes. The bus ride to Lanquin, 10 hours, was a little nerve racking because of the never ending shakeing and jostling, as well as very very few bathroom breaks, if you know what i mean. Anyways, we made it and this place looks eally cool as well. We are both getting more comfortable and knowledgeable about travelling. We are both really excited about Semuc Chapey and Tikal soon after that. Miss you all and talk to you soon.
