We had a near magical weekend at La Iguana Perdida in Santa Cruz La Laguna. Tag even played in the band!

The lock on our front door kept jamming. This is the story of how it got replaced. Let's just say that most countries have different safety standards than Guatemala.

In the town of Panajachel there are four modes of transportation available for hire and each serves a different purpose. We review them all in this post.

This year we were able to skirt the birthday party for our daughter in exchange for a back-to-back, double sleep-over, and a day of adventures.  

We spent the weekend in Quetzaltenango (aka Xela) and our schedule was packed. We need some vaccinations and had tons of shopping and site seeing to do.

Ever ran a half marathon? How about running one with a lot less oxygen? The post chronicles the Xela 2014 21K race which had a peak elevation of 8,000 feet above sea level.

We spent an amazing day in Santiago and Sumpango joining in the celebrations for Day of the Dead. The culture was rich and the kites were amazing.
