Guatemala Preview 08: trip to Pana

We went to Panajachel for an overnight stay. The drive there was long and trecherous. We drove through the mountains and through small villages with no street signs trying to figure out which way to turn and which road to take. We stopped half way for a rest at an unusually empty dirt spot off the road.

We saw an amazing view, but were not sure what to think of the buzzards. We looked over the edge of the cliff and saw a garbage dump! The cliff went straight down hundreds of feet with no guard rails, and trash was everywhere! We quickly hurried back into the mini bus and closed the door... someone left the door open. There were 30 or so flies flying around the bus! And then we looked up in horror to see the ceiling was covered in flies!

We started to drive and put the windows down and grabbed anything we could to bat away at the flies and to shoo them out the window. We eventually got them all out, and laughed really hard in the process.
