The Island

Yes, THE Island. As in, Guatemala equals The Island for us.

Before we left for this last trip I was talking to a friend who pointed out that we first started watching LOST while in Guate 4 years ago and it's ending while we're there again. I should have paid attention to the eerie-oh-so-LOST-like cyclicle pattern because as you know, Guatemala tried to keep us yet again. Not only did we spend the majority of a week trying to leave, but there were just a few other things that got our attention...

Our first day there Eliot kept seeking this light...


Then our new friend Lorenzo, who looked a little bit too much like Mikhail, unveiled a little something like a donkey wheel...


and then? People, I'm not making this up. Our off day we went to a local hotel and during lunch we saw this...


We actually could have come home a few days earlier but the only flight available was flight 815 so we opted out...
