After quite a pleasant 6 hour drive through mountainous Guatemala reach its capital - Guatemala City - according to the tales of travelers, and hints Lonely Planet - the most dangerous and most interesting cities in the country. And the first minute of our stay here seem to confirm this. We pass on the way in. uninteresting houses barred from the barbed wire on the roofs. We drove to the station abskurny separated from the street and of course the great gate of barbed wire too. Weapons Station guard with a big gun I ask him why such protection. He says: Here the streets are awfully close and it's dangerous because later you okarze, perhaps, all the streets are so dangerous that the local fashion, or because the security guards with guns stand here before actually almost every shop. We want as quickly as possible to get out of this unpleasant place. Decide zadzownic to the host, who invited us to come. We manage to contact him rapidly and after 30 minutes after us already rzyjezdza. The climate is rapidly changing. Juan Carlos was in Poland, and he loves this country, knows a little too slow to Polish. We go to the pub with him and his friend Paul from France, she also is the hospitality. We all know each other and know that all we wrote the same email:))) Our host zamiawia a bucket of beer for a bucket. AFTER 5 small beers in each bucket, and for this delicious sandwich. August Almost drunk. In a good mood going into his house. Along the way we take even a German woman, who was working for a few months in Guatemala City. We meet a very beautiful and had a wife, Juana. It was very nice. Juan is a huge apartment in a very good neighborhood. They become a delicious pizza, I do some rozmaiwam of a German woman in German. Unfortunately, fatigue makes that about 22:30 we go to bed.
next day we go to town. Unfortunately, fear causes that do not take up aparu fotograficnzego a pity, because the views are quite interesting. And the city today no longer seems to be not so terrible. We visit the beautiful little church, bazaar. We get to the cathedral and the presidential ring finger, which zwiedzmy tours for free. Especially interesting is the hall commemorating the peace signed in 1996 between the government and the Guatemalan guerrillas konczycy 36-year war in that country, and the sidewalk in front of the palace on the tarmac photographs reminiscent of sad stories do not so far away, and photographs of so-called "zniknietych, probably kidnapped and killed and never not found anymore. How can
terrible and amazing view of the guards with a weapon even before the store with the shoes. Ready at any moment to kill the assailant. In the shop we see the guy jendym sotjacego for cash with a big gun in his hand, and so there must be some attacks. Luckily, none of them are experiencing. And on the streets in many miesjcach posters of prison bars and password: Not lam law, you need to Guatemala.
After returning home to change plans. We had to go to Antigua today, but our host offers from tomorrow morning he will take us there. Super. Yet we'll spend a nice evening with the family of Juan (you say that is not only beautiful but also a wonderful wife two small children, with whom I played today with an hour). Koncz writing, because I probably just eat some good dinner:)))
