On our way to Flores today, roughly a 4 hour trip from Rio Dulce.

Upon arriving we found our rooms weren't quite ready yet as we had arrived a little earlier than planned . We ended up leaving our big bags at the hotel and headed out to grab a bite to eat. It had been a while since some of us have had any fast food so some of us headed off to Burger King which we passed on our way into Flores. it's amazing the small things that you miss at times.

After lunch the girls that were with us for lunch took off and us guys headed off to the mall and played some arcade machines. There was a local kid in there watching us play all these games and we all ended up giving out tickets that we had won to him. Not as if we would ever use them. We then all caught a Tuc Tuc back to the hotel which cost 10 Quetzales between 2 people (about 75 cents each), Tariq seemed pissed that he paid that much when he found out how close the hotel was. Funny.

When we got to the hotel it was great to find that the Internet at this place actualy worked, it was the best connection we have had the entire trip. I started on uploading all the photos on the cellphone to the web as I needed to free up space to take more photos.

Later on I decide it was time to take a swim, went down to the pool and after about 10 minutes the sun started to go behind some trees so we decided we would go down to the lake to go swimming. Such a great idea, the water was really warm and we meet a bunch of local kids playing and swimming at the lake as well.
Andres set out a challenge with the local kids to see who could do the coolest tricks into the lake.

We found out at the lake that Peter was like Jesus and could walk on the water. I guess he is closer to god than anyone else here, he is very tall. After the fun, the kids took off and a couple stayed around to test the amount of time they could hold their breath. One kid went and held his breath underwater for 2:20 seconds, very impressive. Andres thought he would see how he could do against him and was able to get up to 1:46. Wow.
