Adios Guatemala, Hola U.S.A.

On the final days of my trip, I went on a zipline (Canopy Cirque del Aire)  in Antigua, played with some parrots, visited the Mayan Golf Club, & said "Adios" to my new friends.












 My flight was a long 7 hours but when I finally arrived home my parents greeted me & it was so nice to be back in America!

All in all, my trip to Guatemala was an amazing time. I saw so many interesting & beautiful sights. I am so glad that you have taken the time out to follow my journey. Until next time, "Adios" everybody!! :)

Tikal

Last week I went on an amazing tour to Tikal. It was totally fascinating hiking through the jungle, climbing the Ancient Mayan steps, & visiting the temples.




This was the largest tree in the jungle. Ancient Mayan legend states that this is sacred & provides health & energy.
 It reminds me of the tree in Avatar.













 These were really cool neon orange centipedes crawling all over the jungle floor.
