Guatever Tomorrow Brings

To renew my 90 day visa, I had to leave Costa Rica and come back in. I had originally planned to go to neighboring Nicaragua, but I had been seeing billboards around the city advertising cheap flights to Guatemala. I decided to take advantage and experience a new place on my own! It was a success! 

I covered a lot of ground in a couple days, seeing some amazing things and meeting some very interesting people along the way. I am thankful for the quality conversations and moments to worship! Here are some pictures from my adventure.

Antigua

A hidden gem behind the current Catedral de San José in Antigua. The previous cathedral was destroyed by an earthquake in 1773 and its ruins are amazing to walk through!
