FLORES











We loved Flores! The rural Guatemalans seem friendlier than the jaded city folk of overrun Antigua, and the tropical countryside was lovely. It reminded me of Florida a bit. Here are some shots of Flores, which sits on a small island in the middle of Lake Peten Itza. We took a boat across the lake one day and hiked around in the jungle and up to a viewpoint, where we could see the whole island. Pigs and scrawny dogs roam around the streets of the small towns. Grace and Gloria loved the motel pool and we have discovered "licaudos", the Guatemalan version of a smoothie.
