Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala

Today wasn't as hot as yesterday it was only 90 degrees. We finally got off the ship around 10:30 AM which had docked at 9 AM. There were a bunch of shops just at the end of the walkway off of the ship. We thought about taking a tour of the city, but by the time we decided, all of the tours were gone. So we had to shop at the booths at the dock. I had to bite the bullet and purchase more internet time. Internet time aboard this ship is very expensive, but in order to keep the blog going I bought unlimited time. You only go around once.

This city is much more industrialized than any of the cities in Mexico. No wonder the Mexicans  want to risk everything and come to the U.S. Anyway, here are pictures of the port and freighters. There were two waiting to come into port to be loaded.

One interesting thing is that they have an active volcano. Here are a few pictures I took from the ship. It was very hazy, but I think you will be able to actually see the smoke coming out of the volcano.

Here is Barbara thinking about buying some jade.

Here is part of a show that was put on showing period dress ware.
