Guate to Huehue

I got into Guatemala City in the early afternoon, cleared customs, and had to wait a good 20 minutes for my taxi - I could have taken another but I forced myself to be patient and he finally arrived - its a good thing I waited.
Stayed at the Posada Belen - expensive, but I do enjoy the place. Left at 6:30 in the morning for Panajachel and stayed at Marios Rooms (130 Q for the night but included breakfast and I got the wireless internet to work on my computer). I stayed 2 nights and just chilled, visited Candelaria a bit, read alot and drank some Gallo. Saturday I also went up to Solola just to hang out and eat lunch - nothing to exciting.
Left sunday morning for Huehue and made the mistake (huge) of having 3 cups of coffee. I had to piss in Los Encuentros (the most disgusting ¨sanitario¨ that I have ever used), then again I had to piss in Cuatro Caminos (nice new and clean sanitario) and then had to piss when I got off the bus in Huehue - 1 cup of coffee maximum in the future.
pana to solola - 3Q
solola to los encuentros - 3Q
los encuentros to cuatro caminos - 15Q
cuatro caminos to huehue - 20Q
there was no delays on the road to cuatro caminos but the construction still is not finished - the road will be much nicer, but people will drive faster and it will be just as dangerous I think, oh well.
The weak US dollar is hurting this year, instead of 7.8 Q/dollar its more like 7.45 Q/dollar and because of the gas price 38Q/gallon everything is more expensive - less Quetzales for my money but stuff costs more - shit.
beer
tienda 10Q
paper moon 15Q
