Back to Guatemala before Costa Rica

Before leaving for Costa Rica, we returned for one night in Guatemala before catching our flight on Tuesday. Due to the fact that we were on an island in the middle of nowhere, we were unable to tell our family friends in Guatemala City whether or not we were coming to dinner Monday night. Being the wonderful people that they are, Lucky --dressed in her best, of course--was waiting for us at the airport when we arrived from Belize.
The whole way to her house (in her He-eme-ce,haha), Lucky complained of how embarrassed she was that she didn´t have a nice dinner prepared for us. We had PIZZA which was LOVELY after three days of good, but different, food on the island. Being the Martha Stewart that she is, our pizza was paired with wine and a fancy salad haha. Below are pictures of their beautiful home and Guatemala City (for some reason the first two want to be sideways).

Little Juan Jo...sitting still for once!

Don Juan Carlos...he kept making us some super margaritas haha

Beautiful flowers being sold by the side of the road. This part of Guatemala City, Zona 10, is nicknamed Zona Viva for all of the things to do there. We had a nice walk there before our flight. At the place we had breakfast, we realized we were surrounded by business men and women...at almost 10am! Es la cultura.

I just found this entertaining...what a beautiful place to ship things from!
