Guatemala Acrostic

Ian at Iximche, Tecpan

Did you ever write acrostic poems in school? It's when you write the letters of a word in a vertical line and use those letters to start each line of a poem. I'm not so talented in the poetry department, so while I get my thoughts and pictures from our trip in order, here is an acrostic list to whet your appetite.

Awaking to roosters crowing, dogs barking, and birthday fireworks explosions
Native Mayan dress on women and young girls
Trying new foods like pitaya and liche
Ice Cream (helado) from Marco Polo
Greetings from strangers
Uphill we walked, and walked, and walked
Arts and crafts

Guatemala! I hope I will ever make it there. Only heard good things about that country. Once I was in Honduras and Guatemala was the next target, but torrential rains hindered us from getting there. So it was Roatan Island instead. But surely next time.... ;-)

Hi Chris, it is a beautiful country, and I highly recommend it as a travel destination. I would like to go back and visit other areas, including the ruins at Tikal.

Thank you, David! It's good to be back, although there is a part of me that wishes we were still in Guatemala.
