Back in Antigua....and safe here.... (far enough away from hurricane WILMA...)

So I had another few really nice days in Mexico with Antonio, his friends, Monika, and some other nice people I met there..... lotsa sunshine and beachtime in CANCUN, Playa del Carmen and Isla Mujeres - yeah, I know, hard to believe when you see the news about hurricane WILMA there now....
How super-lucky I am on my trip all the time was really proved once again...!!!

I left CANCUN on Sunday night very late to travel back to Antigua de Guatemala..... nightbus from CANCUN to Chetumal, another bus from there to FLORES.... yaaaaiiii - back in Guatemala !!
Met this English girl Rosa on my bus to FLORES, she had lived in Antigua from NOV last year till March and was on her way back there too....
funny - she had actually been Jose's housemate and of course also knew a lot of the same people there that I used to hang out with..... yeah - small world...!!

So when we got back to FLORES we decided to take a flight frmo there back to GUATE City at 5pm to safe some time and another night (8 hours) on a bus or a stay-over in FLORES.... the flight with TIKAL Jets was quick - 30mins - reasonably priced - $ 65 - and actually pretty good..... Sebastian was so sweet to come and pick us up from the airport and we were back in Antigua around 7.30pm..... yyaaiiii - kinda felt like coming back home.... !!

I'm staying at the same place again, even have my old room again (luckily the guy who was staying there for 2 weeks left exactly the day before i got back...!! :)
and yes - all is great here again...!!

Beautiful sunshine and pretty hot here at the moment.....great to see everyone again.... dancing in SIN VENTURA on TUE and LA CLAVE last night was great..... aaahhhh - I really missed Salsa and dancing while I was in CANCUN..... and my students here are happy too that they're gonna get another German lesson again tomorrow morning....

yesterday it was also Revolution Day here and a National holiday..... but it was nothing like Independence Day a month ago....

6 weeks left of my trip now.... let's see what's still gonna happen.... I hope you're all safe and happy and healthy..... wherever you are.... como yo.... hasta pronto....xxx
