We have finally arrived in San Lucas Toliman!!

The adventure started much sooner than we expected. We thought we had at least until we arrived in Guatemala before the real fun began....but instead, thanks to American Airlines, it started at 4AM on Thursday. Our 6am flight from SFO quickly became a 7:30am flight. Then a 9 am flight. Then a 9:30am flight. Then a cancelled flight. Scrambling to get on a rescheduled flight, the best we could find with AA was one that got us to our connection city in Texas about an hour after our Guatemala flight departed. Thankfully, we were able to secure two seats on United, and we made it in time to hop on our Guatemala flight. After a rather uneventful flight to Guatemala City, we spent the night in a hostel-type hotel. Tired, but relieved to be there.
Early the next morning (today), we set of in a bus for San Lucas Toliman. A twisty, beautiful 2 hour journey up 5,000 feet, we reached our destination. Surrounded by very friendly, but surprisingly small local people, our adventure begins......
Oh, and yes, that is a blackberry in kevin´s hand......
