My mom came down to visit for Christmas and we took a quick
trip over to the Rio Dulce/Livingston area on the Atlantic Coast. Unfortunately, it poured the entire time we
were there, with the exception of the last morning as we were leaving. So instead of beaches, kayaking, and
waterfall hikes, we finished some books and hide under a palapa.
On the way back to Guatemala City we made a quick stop at
the ruins of Qurirgua, on the 23rd, just missing the celebrations
for the end of the long count Mayan calendar.
Christmas Eve in Guatemala is capped off by an amazing
display of fireworks at midnight. Living
on the 18th floor, I have a pretty good view of part of the city and
it was literally fireworks for as far as you could see (plus the ones that were
nearly exploding on my balcony).
On Christmas morning we headed to Santa Cruz, one of the towns on Lake Atitlan.
