Long Road Trip

Today we decided to take a 4 1/2 hour drive over to the other side of Guatemala to see some Mayan ruins called Zaculeu.  They were restored and don't look exactly like they should.  They look more like they are made of concrete.  There was a little museum there and kids playing soccer and people having picnics.  It is also known as an area for couples to make out.  It was cool though because you are able to climb all over the ruins.  We stayed at a motel that the group leaders knew nothing about and it was pretty sketchy.  One lady woke up to bed bugs and I couldn't sleep because it wasn't clean. The shower was ice cold and nasty.  Luckily we had flip flops to wear in every shower, but it was a long night.  We stayed close to the temple, so we could do baptisms in the morning.
