In Guatemala City

We´ve arrived in Guatemala City! Both of our flights were nice and CJ was excited that we again got to sit in first and business class. On our Dallas to GC flight they served us chocolate cookie ice cream with chocolate sprinkles in it that CJ especially enjoyed.
When we got into GC we didn´t have to wait long at all in customs and immigration but it was a madhouse reminicent of Lima when we got out. We eventually found our shuttle guy who took us to the hotel (and was playing the Beatles). It was pouring rain when we got here.
Our hotel was absolutely packed with a big group checking in when we arrived, so we had to wait quite a while to get our keys. Our room is both nice and has some strange issues. It´s very big, has two nice beds, a balcony, kitchentte, a bunch of minibar stuff that you could buy and had a huge bathtub, but there is lot of mildew in the bathroom. I showered and there was not a ton of hot water, but enough so that it was tolerable. CJ has done pretty well, though very distracted and sometimes fussy. We will go to bed soon, I hope. She is writing in her journal right now. I´m hoping we sleep well, and then we need to change some money and find our way to the first class bus station to get to Xela. It´s supposed to take about four hours. I´m hoping we can be there by about mid afternoon. I´ll be very glad to be done with luggage for a while!
