Last Post

So I was pretty good until those last two weeks. I doubt anyone is even still reading this since I have been back in the states for over two weeks. (honestly, it feels like a thousand years) But I have felt kind of proud that I actually kept this up the way I have. And I need to finish it. I had a lot of post ideas in those last few weeks. But since they all involved the immediate vacating of Guatemala I prefered to not write anything at all and pretend like I was never going to leave. I didn't want to leave. And that's why I didn't write.

I feel like I have changed a lot. I didn't realize it until coming back and feeling so out of it. So as cliched as it sounds, it's time to do some self exploring.

But that's a different blog (i guess, although I doubt i'll blog about that) for a different time. I had a lot to write about- how Antigua was beautiful but touristy, just as everyone had said. How Tikal reminded me of Indiana Jones rides in Disney land. About the quetzal I had tattooed into my leg.

But the image that struck me most was on the drive up to Tikal, with Zak and K-Ro and Julio. Driving through darkness in Peten and looking out the window and seeing more stars than I had ever seen in my life. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
