In and around Guatemala

It's a trip of many first's. It's the first time that I've been to a Latin American country. It's also the first time Ken and I took a real vacation together. Â
Guatemala offered a great opportunity to explore a new culture and learn about the Mayan landscape and history. And I got to practice a little bit of my high school Spanish. It also offered many surprises that just kept us guessing throughout the trip.   Even with all the surprises, everything came together for us and it was a lot of fun!Â
A very memorable Christmas and New Years
Anyways, I would recommend Guatemala especially for anyone looking for warm weather in December and looking for a little bit of adventure.
P.S. be sure to check out the pictures... even in the reviews. I just got a camera so I am still learning to take pictures.
