P11 Sans Sugar

When you sip a complex Guatemalan coffee like P11, you can't add sugar, because if you do so you will lose all the different flavors this coffee has. So next time you be in front of a good cup of coffee, think twice.

Wandering

Arrancar la moto y salir a la carretera sin saber a donde dirigirse es uno de mis placeres más grandes, no prisas, no horarios, solo el deseo de manejar por unas horas hacia un destino que puede cambiar en cualquier momento dependiendo del estado de ánimo y la situación. En esta imágen el volcán de Pacaya visto desde la carretera que va de Los Pocitos a El Jocotillo, a unos 45kms de Guatemala City.

Iztapa Air Show

Del site de Cari Canary he tomado estas magníficas fotos que ilustran lo emocionante de esta actividad realizada en Iztapa, en el Pacífico guatemalteco, así como unas excelentes vistas de la topografía local.

Morris Minor Pick Up 1970

Lunes 4 PM nos reunimos en el taller de Eric (vestido de negro) para ver su más reciente restauración, un precioso pick up Morris de 1970, aprovechamos a platicar, tomarnos un café y pasar una tarde entre amigos que casualmente coincidimos allí.

La Ruta Maya VII (Cancún+Tulum+Flores)

As everything that is good comes to an end, after rode 4,000kms in 8 days we were a little tired but happy of our little adventure, New Year took us in Cancún and after that the site of Tulum and the Isla de Flores at Guatemala gave a nice touch to terminate our journey.

La Ruta Maya VI (Chichén Itzá)

After hopping quickly through Progreso and Mérida we went straight to Chichén Itzá, the famous site with its emblematic four sided pyramid El Castillo, Chichén is a site with Toltec influence but with a great Maya Puuc reminescense, a great site but a little simple to my taste. Due to the hordes of people you can't "touch" the structures, just like there were in a postcard, just to watch. The first time I was there was in 1987 and the feeling was completly different.

La Ruta Maya V (Uxmal)

One of the greatest sites in the Yucatán península, Uxmal has excellent details in its facades, stairways and palaces, you can stay there for hours just thinking how could be life there some 1,000 years before. By far -in my opinion- a site more complex and beautiful than Chichén Itzá.
