Wild turkeys in Guatemala are a lot prettier than wild turkeys here.

This was an anteater that ran by a few times. I’d never seen one before.


After we were finished at Tikal (and I got a bunch of GIGANTIC mosquito bites -- they’re pretty nasty there) we drove to Flores, which is an island in Petén. I absolutely loved it there. The architecture was beautiful and it felt like a beach town, even though it’s technically on a lake. There are actually steps down into the lake and lots of people were swimming.

This was our hotel. It was really nice for Guatemala (other than the part where a chunk of our ceiling fell down at 2 AM and landed really loudly on John’s nightstand, scaring us both to death).








Since it was our anniversary, we had dinner by ourselves at a little restaurant overlooking the water. The food was amazing (I had chicken with a cantaloupe sauce) and the view was incredible as the sun set.

It was such a beautiful and unique place to spend our anniversary. I wouldn’t have minded staying a couple more days, but we had to head back to Guatemala City early the next morning.

Just as a sidenote: I’ve decided to use Disqus for comments on my blog. Because there’s no way to import old blogger comments, all comments that have been left previously are no longer visible (still a little sad about that). Just didn’t want anyone to think I deleted their comments.
This looks amazing! I want to visit!!
