Hobo was here and goes there...
That is a list of jumps I have made since the
last newsletter.
I was in Acapulco, Mexico on a beach eight miles north called Pie de la
Cuesta, Playa, I flew from Acapulco to Guatemala, took a shuttle upon
arrival to Antigua, Guatemala and found a room..
Hobo goes here...
I will take a 6 dollar tourist van tomorrow to the city of Panajachel,
on a lake called, Lago Atitilan, one of my better memories of travel, and a
place I have been twice before, but the more of the sunset over the Volcano
has never been forgotten.
Maybe soon I go to Moterrico Beach, Tikal, Rio Dulce, Flores, Guatemala,
then move on to Honduras.
Hobo News
I was sick, slow, mentally off for the last week, finally went to the
doctors for 20 Quetzales, 3 US. Dollars and she check my blood pressure,
says it is 150/100, I guess this is high, so now I became serious about
losing weight. Too much time working on the computer in Thailand I suspect,
too much good food, and too much coffee made a sick Hobo.
Antigua Guatemala
Antigua, Guatemala has to be the best disguised, full on tourist city I have
ever been in; this place is an older Spanish Colonial city with a twist.
Underneath the façade of Cobblestone Street, and Red Brick colored building,
this place has a world-class supply of tourist supplies. Pizza, Yuppie
Coffee Shops, Curry and for the truly wanna be home, not in Guatemala
Tourist a Burger King and McDonalds.
My room in Antigua is 13 US Dollar with WIFI Internet, TV, 10 Movie Channels
and Fridge, about double the services for half the price of Mexico, a truly
good value.
Walking around in Antigua if you do not walk in the stores is delight, the
central square, the small Mayan Guatemala people walk around, passive and
nice, often saying hello as I pass, an interesting city, however still a
tourist city. I call this a party city as many Travelers tell their parents
they are going to Antigua, Guatemala and party all night here in this
smallish city. Not a good place for young people to learn Spanish as the
English speakers are unavoidable; no way to get immersed in Spanish here,
too much English.
However, comfortable, I guess a good place to party, eat Pizza, and plan
trips to other more remote areas, a person in Guatemala could leave Antigua,
travel 50 miles in any direction, and enter a more basic, simple Guatemala
life.
I enjoy this passive culture, not a mockery culture, nice to leave Mexico
and their more brutish behavior.
When you think of Guatemala, you should repeat.

This is no place like Home.
On the other side...
It is easier to blog, than to compile these newsletter, therefore I am going
to post tips on the blog, then refer to the better one in the newsletters.
