On the Road Again

Travel day

From Guatemala City we drove to the ruins of the Mayan city of Tikal. Drive drive drive. Every once and a while Don would stop to film something.

The longest stop was at the banana plantation. As the bananas were in all different stages of development, it was cool to see how they rolled out a pod like thingy. (That’s technical talk.)

Walter was complaining that we wouldn’t get to Tikal till midnight. That wasn’t the case, we were just hours late. I bedded down in the Jungle lodge in the park at Tikal. It was my first night under a bug net. I was in a hurry to get my six hours of sleep started. It would be a predawn start to shoot the sunrise from the top of Temple four.
