Yesterday was a sick day for Hilary and I. Hilary actually managed to go to her Spanish lessons while I took refuge in the bathroom for the better part of the morning. A day of rice and salt and we were back on our feet again today! Actually, I felt completely fine and spunky by lunch yesterday, Hilary's bout was more drawn out.
Today was Hilary's last day in Antigua so we spent a lot of time researching just how much stuff she is allowed to bring as checked baggage home, and then the rest of the time combing the market, filling Delta's baggage allowances. After some careful alterations of some hammocks, I only have some rough-hewn wooden rods sticking out of my pack, awaiting the fast approaching end to my stay in Guatemala and their ultimate reunion with their respective hammocks being brought home by Hilary.
Tomorrow morning we are headed off to a place called Semuc Champey. It is slowly becoming more of a hot-spot in the Central American ecotourism scene, due to its Crater Lake-like blue water ponds and falls, and its deep caves. It's 17 hours of driving in a public shuttle in total. We hope it is worth it. There are no phones or electricity there so sayonara until Friday night!
