Its either a papaya, or some kind of Granny Jose apple...

We made it to Guatemala city today, no real issues, except the border crossing. The place is packed with sheisty dudes mobbing your car trying to get paid for helping you get through customs. We just kept driving as more and more of them jumped onto the running boards and held on while Bob went faster and faster. We managed to get our entrance and immigration stamps easily and for a total of six bucks, the next part involved getting the van into Guatamala which required the following:

1. The title (which is not in any of our names and causes much confusion)
2. A copy of Bobs passport (which is probably being made into a perfect copy now)
3. Papers showing permission the enter Mexico with the van (we didn't have that)
4. A pass showing fumigacion of the van (which is just a $4 paper and a spritz of mystery liquid on the van)

So after much arguing and all the while being mobbed by dudes trying to sell us Guatemalan currency, we managed to get the car through and aside from some overheating and traffic were here and about to go meet a friend we might stay with.
We picked up a guy named Ryan from Texas who happened to be walking along the road as we were driving through the jungle, so hes hanging out with us now and is actually headed for Panama as well so we might be the four musketeers for a bit.
So much seems to happen every day its borderline overwhelming. We meet the most interesting people who if not for chance or providence we never would have noticed.
The world is a strange strange place and I'm thankful for the opportunities Ive had to see as much of it as I have.
Until next time,
Dean
