24/09/04- 25/09/04 Quezaltenango

Otherwise affectionately known as Xela by the locals, but it isn't pronounced how you would think. Stopped overnight here in order to break up the journey to México and found it to be a rather pleasing little place, with some lovely buildings. We were only here for a very short time so it is difficult to comment on it too much but I would just say that the guys who work as conductors on the buses are some of the hardest working people I think I have ever seen.



At the bus terminal we saw Guatemala's latest pop sensation, Bolsos Gordos del Pollo, on the way to their gig in Chichicastenango.

Fiona is right (as usual)- we didn't do anything here
