Was it just this January that you made this trip!? I'm just getting back from Belize myself! It's so funny to come across you talking about this trip, too. I didn't make it to Tikal, but I did see the Caracol ruins and Belize City, as well as spent a few days in San Ignacio, Bacalar, and Caye Caulker! That would have been so funny if we'd run into each other at all.

Great piece, Sally! And all too relatable! I'd been a little scared of crossing into Guatemala myself.
