After a day long bus ride on one of the famed chicken buses the ladies and I arrive in Coban, one of the larger cites in the Northern part of Guatemala. Our goal is to spend the night here and leave early the next morning for the famed pools of Semuc Champey. Our newly discovered traval picnic? One large can of refried black beans, chips/tostados, and if we are lucky the option of avacado, cheese, or salsa. The best place for these pic-nics? On the corners of the bus stops where the locals can view us and either laugh at us or show a shy hand and ask for one. By far my favorite meal of the trip! Our mode of transport on the 3 hour ride on unpaved roads into the remote Semuc Champey? A small pick up truck dressed up with four seats bolted into the bed of the truck and a cavas canopy to shield us from rain or shine. So much fun and slighly dangerous this trip turned into a small safari through the Guatemalan hillsides.
