Travel day to guatemala

Today we caught a taxi to the border, it was the smallest little van ever. The border was a little hectic as we were instantly bombarded by money changers and taxi drivers. We told them we were going to take a bus, but they just keep following you. It took us a while to find a bus because we were looking for big buses, but really they just use little vans with three rows of seats. People get piled in though. Our adventure is going to change a lot now that we will be in Spanish speaking countries. I've been able to practice a little today, and hopefully more will come back to me as I get used to trying to speak the language. We're in Flores, which is an island in a lake in Guatemala connected to the mainland by a short causeway. With the lake, the jungle in the distance, and the cobblestone streets we're in a beautiful spot. On top of that everyone is really friendly and helpful.
