Tikal and other wonderful adventures.

I only have a few moments but wanted to say that Guatemala is wonderful. I hope you have been able to check the website...i haven´t seen it myself but i think information about our trip to Tikal was posted.

it was an amazing place, Tikal. More than I thought it would be. I pushed myself, walking more than 15 miles, not counting the five times we climbed temples, and ziplining through the rainforest...all after waking up at 4am!!

As I was climbing steps that were a little too unstable or as I was looking out from the highest pre-columbian structre in the world..I thought of you all. I dedicated steps to you to keep me going upwards. When I had made my way through a tough hike and up to the top of Tikal for sunrise I felt you there with me. I felt so proud of myself to have made it....the 20 plus pounds i´ve lost since February were critical in me getting up the temples and I just was so very proud and I knew you would have been proud of me too.

So thank you for joining me in Tikal. I can´t wait to tell you more about this wonderful trip, beautiful country, joyful people and the way it is motivating to keep striving for my best self.
