Family Travel – 9 Years Later in Tikal National Park
Tikal! What can I say, it’s so much more than anything you can imagine! 9 years ago on March 5, 2001 I came to Guatemala by myself and decided to camp out on Tikal’s grounds. Never in a million years did I ever think my life would change forever that day! But, so it did.
Next to me camped out a Guatemala guy with perfect English. Within minutes he started talking to me and I thought, great another Latino hitting on an ultra blond Gringa! However, when he started talking he was so interesting that he captivated me from the start.
9 years later, this guy and I have been married for 6.5 years, living in Guatemala and have an offspring that had to see where his mommy and poppy met!!!
So our Tikal place was revisited. Since it’s such an amazing place, this requires a few posts.
As you drive in you are bombarded with signs, but for the first time ever you actually want to experience what every sign represents:

Jaguar Crossing
Snake Crossing

Pizote Crossing

Turkey Crossing
