I love reading about your amazing experiences and how you handle those petty details that most of us would consider a huge problem. Thanks for giving us the ambition to keep going. We are now in Mexico for 7 MONTHS and loving it and are considering renewing our visa to stay longer!!

We loved Guatemala but figure that it is more like what Mexico was 15 or 20 years ago, still has a feel of the "wild west" about it.

We've been here before, in early February of 2009 so we don't need to do any tours or anything like that.
