We took a 7 hour bus ride form Guatemala to Rio Dulce (even
though our inaccurate guide book said it would only take 4 hours!) While
comfortable with plenty of space, it was nauseating and I was happy when we
finally arrived. We took a little boat across the lake to our hotel that I just
adored. Everything was on stilts and vegetation and rivers surrounded us.
Beautiful. The next morning, I woke up early and did a little bit of yoga on
our deck. It was relaxing to stretch and warm up in such a beautiful location.

| Lily pads |
After this, we got picked up by a little boat to go to Livingston, a Garifuna
town on the coast. It was a gorgeous boat ride and I really enjoyed being out
on the water, plus the other passengers were really friendly. The vibrant green
trees on the shore were mesmerizing, there were tons of white birds dotting
different trees, and groups of lily pads filled alcoves splitting off from the
river. In one of these branches, these little kids in canoes came up to us to
try to sell large, dried starfish and coconut purses. We finally reached
Livingston, got a little room, and then walked through the town and along the
beach. It’s nice to be by the ocean again and I’m looking forward to playing in
the waves tomorrow.
