Highlights:
- Taking a chicken bus along the 'flower route' to see a small town that had a food market and meeting friends from earlier in our travels
- Watching the world cup final at the hostel then watching the trophy celebrations in the centre on the big screen
- Listening to bands playing Christmas music in the square
Lowlights:
- Not being able to hike the Santa Ana volcano - we couldn't do both the world cup and the hike, and Serena hadn't recovered yet from the Acatenango volcano!
Food and drinks;
- Savoury pies!! We had chicken and chicken and mushroom
- Our first (of many) pupusas - stuffed tortillas, these were with cheese and beans
- A plate of meat and a fresh pineapple juice at the food market
- Horchata - this one was made with a type of ground seed called morro and tasted a bit like chestnuts - delicious!Read more
