Arriving in El Remate, Guatemala

Today we took a few vans to get to El Remate, where the Tikal pyramids are. We arrived at our hotel (you could loosely call it that) and it´s more like Girl Scout camp. It´s a good thing that we´ll only be here for 2 nights. We are staying at Hermano Pedro Tikal. As soon as we got here to eat lunch it rained buckets for about 20 minutes. It was great to have a little cool in this heat. Tomorrow we are going to the pyramids and swimming (we think) and then we´re going back down to Rio Dulce. So far everything is going well. Our last day ot the finca we rode horses (our butts still hurt) and went swimming. We are hearing that everything is pretty normal in Honduras so I´m thinking we´ll still get to go. That´s the plan for now anyway. --Mom

Yesterday we went horse back riding and mine's name was Perdido that means lost. Mom's was named Muneco and that means doll. Then we went swimming only for a little bit. Today we road a bus to El Remate and we went to go eat lunch and it started to rain more than buckets. But we are thinking about going to the blue lake to go swimming, maybe. tomorrow we are going to the pyramids and then going to Rio Dulce. I've heard its a good place to go shopping. A lot has changed here more people have cell phones and lots more motorcycles and bicycles.I hope you are having a great summer too.-Rose
