Michele writes ….The title of my blog translates to “sometimes it’s good to be old.” The minute my body felt the first crash from the boat beating down on top of the waves I knew… that my body was gonna feel this trip. 😩 However, it’s not all bad… being old, (that is not the free spinal compression I got from the pounding waves riding on the front of a boat to make Luca happy, and do I could hear him squeal with joy). The minute we arrived in Guatemala, the men quickly assisted Nicole and I with our bags…. down the launcha,  onto the boat, up the dock and stairs, etc. They just felt in their souls that we were the Elders and we needed tended to. I’ve never been so grateful to be the old ones 😆

Yesterday was a travel packed day, including a plane,  a van, and a boat (what can I say we like diversity). Sometimes, despite all the planning in the world, things will still manage to go array…. well, not yesterday. Thankfully, everything went smoothly with not a single hiccup in the plan. We arrived in Guatemala City by plane,  then we drove 2.5 hours to Panajachel and had lunch on Lago De Atitlan. After lunch we took a boat across the lake to our lovely Airbnb where we be till Sunday.  Our casita looks like a page out of a fairy tale. We settled in and spent the evening in the hot tub and having dinner on our porch.
