Coban Imperial

We spent two days in Coban and wandered around the city. The rains fortunately only really came after we had returned to the hotel for the night. Nathan wanted a Coban Imperial soccer jersey and so after much wandering we made it to the team office and they only had youth jerseys. However, they did have a player jersey laying on the table that they were willing to sell for about $15. Then we took a bus with grandpa to Guatemala City and headed to Panajachel.

Getting Back to the Mayan Ruins

Lots of parasites on a tree.

After the wedding in Mexico City, Nathan and I headed to Tikal in northern Guatemala. We started there, in order to make sure that nothing kept us from visiting the ruins. :)
We spent 6 hours wandering through the jungle in search of all the temples, there were paths, but we didn't get a map and a few of them are rarely traveled. We stayed in Flores, which is a tiny island on a small lake. From Flores, we moved on to Coban to spend a few days with our grandpa.

Nathan and I had a friend get married in Mexico City 28 June, 2008. We traveled there for the weekend and Nathan was in the wedding. The wedding was at 12oo at a convent in a national park and there were cocktails in the garden next door afterwards. Then we moved to the reception at a Museum in the city. A 4-course meal was served, the band played for 5 hours and then the mariachi band started at 10 pm after a light snack. We left the reception at 11 pm. An impressive long party.

From there Nathan and I moved on to Guatemala.
