Ah, so it turns out that Mexico and Guatemala are a lot more similar than I'd have liked to admit back when I created this blog. Not to fear, only the best things about these countries are the same.
A short list, shall we?
1. The sexual harrassment continues. Walking down the street involves listening to countless men evaluate your sex appeal, as though you are just another flavor of ice cream in a cooler at Beal's.
2. Unreliable Internet access. Always charming.
3. Gringo parades.
Now for some important distinctions.
1. Have not yet located a toilet without a seat.
2. Guatemala tends to put retried beans in bags, not boxes. (see previous post entitled 'foods are different in Mexico)
3. The smell of burning toilet paper. (as opposed to straight up shit, smell Puebla.)
That is all for my first day in Guate. Spanish is holding up quite well, but bilingual can be biconfusing.
Con amor,
Liz
