After spending a day with the Browning family in the land of plenty, we hopped aboard a plane and flew only 4.5 hours south from LA to Guatemala City. It was supposed to be a sleep on the plane flight but our seats had computers in front of them so the kids played computer games until we landed. Needless to say, three kids traveling in a foreign country is a lot, now add the fact that NONE of us got a minute of sleep all night and you´ve got the makings for at least one meltdown. Phelan was a mess. But, we had pre-planned to land, go to a nicer midrange hotel (nice for us) and sleep and watch cartoons in Spanish. It proved to be a good plan and we all slept about four hours. We woke up, hit the streets and went to this very good museo http://www.museoixchel.org/ to learn about the local fabrics and how they´re made. The women´s hair pieces remind us a lot of the Quechua women in Ecuador. I cannot wait to find some women to do my hair up! We will take a chicken bus in the morning to our tiny Mayan village where we will be living for the next month. What, you don´t know what a chicken bus is?
