Oct 26th, From Rio Dulce Guatemala:
Left Guatemala city about 7::00 AM. Took about 90 minutes to thread my way out of the city. Spent most of the day driving, but arrived here by 3:00 PM. This is an undescribably beautiful country, although the signs of poverty are often visible.
I passed through a place not much more than a wide spot in the road. The sign said proudly "La Tierra de Dios". (God's country). I stopped and made friends with a local named Jorge. Jorge led me through a pasture to a butte over the river where I got some nice photos.
Then when I found my motel for the night outside the little town of Rio Dulce, the motel owner was nice enough to do the same thing. These are really very nice people. and easy to get to know. Rio Dulce turned to be a little bit of a Honky Tonk. I thought it would be more isolated. But,I am a few kilometers outside the town exactly where the lake runs into the river.
Everything is just fine and I am comfortable in my own skin again. But, who knows? Tomorrow is another border crossing. You can scroll down for photos which I will now attempt to put at the end of the blog.
Guy.

Hey Adventurer, I sailed into that spot some years back, and yes it was very beautiful country. We came in at Livingston and motored all the way west under the Pan Am Highway bridge. Glad to hear you are more comfortable now. Cheers.
