Guatemala - Tikal

Tikal is known for New York City of Maya Ruins and it was true.

Many amazing structures and jungle animals. It was first experience for me to see wild jungle animals. Two different types of monkeys, lots of them and many other birds. Monkeys were definitely the highlight for me. Templo IV had an incredible view. When I got to the top, I couldnt help but say WOW and locals who were working there to maintain just smiled at me.

i walked from 6am to 3pm. with only breakfast, coffee and a bottle of water. it was all good.

night before I met with Guillam and Marine, french who I met in Mexico city. We were very happy to see each other and spent a long time together talking. Now that Marine and I both learned enough spanish to carry on most of our conversation only in Spanish. it was strange experience that we could actually communicate.

we spent two nights hanging out talking, drinking and dining together. it was enough.
we made our promises to see each other in Antigua and it will happen if i stay there to get spanish lesson.

Playing basketball with locals gave me lots of sweats and energy of exercising again. my knees dont hurt anymore since merida 10k run.

learning more about guatemala currency and cost of living.

thinking seriously about playing with currency as well as playing in stock market.

the stock that Weinbaum told me about double since i talked to him last.

If i invested 10,000 .....

i am going to start buying small amount of stocks in companies and playing with it and learn.
