The 105 days started in the Seattle airport with 23 pounds in a backpack and being asked if I was traveling as an unaccompanied minor by the check in clerk.
Moving past that though, we made it to Antigua, Guatemala just fine and picked out the cheapest hotel possible. The total came to 2.50 per night, which we were both a fan of. We have settled in very nicely to our vibrant blue room and the torquise courtyard which always has a flow of other young travelers with backpacks from all over. The courtyard is usually busy with baton and ring juggling, guitars accompanied by singing, a little girl on a tricycle, a spray paint artist, a puppy, and people sitting under umbrellas jotting down notes, planning adventures, and learning spanish.
We are off exploring Antigua today and then kayaking through mangroves to Monterrico tommorow before language school starting on Monday (which I am desperatly in need of).

Underage minor. Ouch (at least for now). Not someday when you are older and happy to look younger. Today is pouring rain in Seattle so your sunshine and adventures sure look good.
