Getting there:
So the trip from Guatemala City to Santa Cruz del Quiche was supposed to take about 3 hours. It ended up taking 6 hours. One of the reasons was that our bus got stuck on a curb in a narrow street in Chichicastenengo -- a small town which was on the way to Santa Cruz. We all had to get off the bus. Our driver and his assistant lifted one side of the bus up with 2x4's and rocked the bus back and forth to get it un-stuck.
This was not a problem for the local "chicken busses" -- Guatemala is where old school busses from the US go to be re-born as public transport -- complete with spiffy new paint jobs.
YIKES!!! When rounding narrow curves he who honks first and loudest has the right-of-way.
