2008 11-12 Guatemala

eusaypdx@hotmail.com (Yasue Arai) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

My 16 days in Guatemala was full of adventure! I spent 4 days in Antigua (attended Kathryn's wedding, climbed an active volcano Vulcan Pacaya), 5 days by Lake Atitlan (my very favorite part of the trip, climbed dormant volcano Vulcan San Pedro, swam lake, perfected my hammock hanging skills), 2 days in El Peten region (walked in rainy Flores and crowdy jungle of Tikal, perfect weather as I was told it's almost unbearably hot when the sun is out), 2 days in Coban (swam in the river at Semuc Champey, watch thousands of bats flying out of Coban cave under the full moon, then found ourselves stuck there as the guide left the car key at the guard station which was closed and locked by the time we came out of the cave), then back to la antigua and sleepy Monterrico (pacific coast of guatemala, getaway for people living in Antigua and Guate City) where I got to take all the photos of mangrove forests as my guide Sanders explained every details of the forest during the trip.... It was a captivating trip, and I have to go back again, next time to Xela and Rio Dulce, and of course back to Lake Atitlan!!!

2008 10 Amtrak

eusaypdx@hotmail.com (Yasue Arai) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Half of my adventure to Chicago was riding Amtrak to and fro, from my home town of Portland. I took "Empire Builder" there, taking 45 hours or so, then 50 hours from Chicago to Sacramento, 7 hour lay over to catch another train from Sacramento to Portland, which is another 15 hours. You must be a trained sitter and meditator to endure this much of riding. However, if you have time and patience, you will encounter some absolutely gorgeous scenaries. It's worth it, but I will break it down to smaller segments of riding the next time......

Someone told me Chicago will take my breath away. He was right.
