Lapskaus lapskaus, torillas go to...

We had lapskaus (meat, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, stuffed together and boiled, very Norwegian dish) yesterday! It was a fantastic end to tortillas and beans! And that was it actually, the last finca stay is over and done with. It was a good week, we didn't do too much work except for the regular bananacarrying, but had a nice time with the family. Now we've had two quick debriefing days in Xela, and arrived in Antigua tonight. We're heading to Copan, Honduras tomorrow to check out some appaerantly awesome Maya ruins. If you get hold of National Geographic from October 1989 you can check it out, great article on the Ruta Maya (I've still got the mag, dad, it's slightly crumbled and has been soaked twice due to the transportation method on chicken buses, but it will soon come home. And it is kinda cool the Copan-magazine actually has been to Copan...) The photo is from the ruins, and if you can see a missing statue, it's just because the USA took it in the late 19th century as payment for archeologists they had sent down. The Honduras government had no money, and whoever the President of the Free World was at the time decided it was a decent piece of payment instead...

Other than that Guatemala is treating us well except for the lack of high-speed internet connection so those photos are still not out, but the ones who wait for something don't wait forever...That sounds so much better in Norwegian somehow. Take care and have and absolute lovely time, I am!
