Guatemala Day 1 August 10, 2018

Today we came to Guatemala, or as we like to refer to it, country number 61. Yes, 61 countries and 4 airports that we could count if we wanted to.

It’s pretty easy to get to Guatemala too. It’s a less than 2 hour flight to Houston and then a 2.5 hour flight to Guatemala. Way easier and shorter than what we are used to. Our flight left Kansas City at 6:20am (Yikes!) and we were in Guatemala City at 11:35am (12:35pm our time). Why have we waited so long to come? We have had longer layovers in the Philadelphia airport than the whole combined travel time to get here.

We didn’t have any activities preplanned for this afternoon, and by the time we ate lunch and our room was ready we didn’t have enough time to do anything other than walk around to a couple of convenience stores, the supermarket (thetwinsontour love local snacks and candies) and a mall. I believe the following Facebook posts summarize our day quite well.

Goal #1: Typical lunch

In our effort to avoid McDonald’s, Panda Express, Carl’s Jr, Denny’s, Burger King, Papa John’s, and the sports bar at the hotel, we set off to find a restaurant 2 blocks from the hotel. We thought we found it, until we opened the menu and it said Typical Argentinian food. Oh well, we still consider this a win #thetwinsontour #everydayisanewadventure #SeeTheWorld

Here we are with our Milanesa a la Napolitano (breaded chicken tenderloin with tomato sauce and mozarrella)
