Back in Guatemala, para mi tiempo tercero.
After I landed I got an Uber to El Paredón, a short 3hr drive 😅.
On the plane I had already come to a few conclusions about my “impulse” back in February to book this trip.
I won't reveal those here but taking a trip physically or mentally seems to offer the space to ask yourself questions.
I identified two questions or rather parts of myself that needed some attention, some figuring out.
Or at the least to make peace with.
I love traveling alone for this reason.
El Paredón is beautiful and also very hot 😅. Tomorrow I will go to Antigua to eat and dance my ass off.
This will be my first dance festival to attend and I'm very excited, even if I may not understand what is going on.
I've fared ok with my Spanish so far in El Paredón and you don't need to talk on the dance floor.
I feel incredibly grateful to be able to come here. To be able to travel, to see different things and to have unique experiences. When I let that feeling set in, I cry a wee bit.
I'm lucky, not perfect, but lucky.
