Day 13: Guatemala CIty

We had a great time yesterday meeting lots of interesting people. Today we will meet several more, and each person we meet has so many interesting stories and things to tell us. Everyone is very nice! Lots of cool people coming up.

Fun facts about Guatemala City:

-It´s the biggest city in Central America.

-In Zona 1, I have seen more armed soldiers, policemen, and private security guards then anywhere I´ve ever been (including Israel), and they are all carrying things like uzis, ak47s, and m-16s, while they just stand there for hours on end protecting banks, store-fronts, schools, and government buildings. I'm pretty sure some of them are on drugs, which is probably really good for everyone.

Did the sarcasm come through there?

Speaking of Israel, whoa. Now they are bombing a civilian international airport at the height of tourist season, and the U.S. is all about it. World War 3 anyone? Feels like we're on the brink.

Wish I was kidding. Things are getting crazy up in this.

And in case anyone is wondering, the robbery count is still holding strong at Zero. I haven´t been posting pictures, because, well, Guatemala City just ain´t that pretty.
