A wonderfully spontaneous weekend in Montericco! We hopped a chicken bus at 2pm on Friday afternoon for a 5 hour trip to the southern coast of Guatemala.
Boy are chicken buses PACKED with people! But well worth the cheap ride! We arrived at Hotel Delfin around 7pm and enjoyed a nice dinner on the beach. The next morning I woke up early to take a walk into town with Thomas. We looked at the local restaurants and stores for snack and possible mean options. The afternoon was relaxing and wonderful as we tanned on the black sand beach, swam in the powerful ocean waves and ate amazing food! In the afternoon one of our lifeguards friends we met at the hotel showed us to a local nature reserve! There we got a tour of the reserve, saw crocodiles, iguanas, turtles and all kinds of fish! We learned about the organization and how important community and preserving nature is to the local people.
The best part by far was when we had the opportunity to let baby turtles into the ocean! We all watched as the little turtles raced their way into the ocean as the sun was setting. We saw whales swimming in distance and a marriage proposal! Oh what a happy day!
Dinner was so delicious! Fresh shrimp and salad! Yum, and only for 6$ too! We listened to live music, walked along the beach and had a few drinks before bed.
The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast, packed up, payed, and had a wonderful return adventure via boat and several buses! A great weekend was had by all!
