Day 3 – Flores

We drove back from Tikal and had a night of not doing much. The girls wanted to go shopping (I kinda wanted to go shopping to…:P) and Sean and I wanted to find a place to drink and play Agricola.

Flores with a sunset. I can’t remember if I used the digital zoom on this or not. >.<

Sean had used TripAdvisor to find the name of the #1 ranked restaurant on the island and we had a mission to find it. I hopped into an internet cafe and wrote some e-mails, sent that post card that I’d picked up (did it arrive yet? :)) and then we asked for directions to Cafe Arqueologico Yaxha.

We never found it. But we did find a great sunset, some basketball courts and, about 45 minutes of walking later, a restaurant that looked ok that was exactly one building further than the place we’d eaten breakfast at. We looked at the drink specials menu, did a little quick math and determined that Cuba Libres (rum+coke+lime) were about $1.20US, and walked in. Sean asked if we could play a game and the German waiter said go ahead.

We had a couple drinks. By a couple, I mean a few. By …a few, I mean several. I mean Sean at Agricola last night – one of my 2 (3?) wins this vacation. 😛

The girls showed up part-way through our second game and were slightly embarrassed to be seated with us. 😛 We finished our game and pushed our tables together and proceeded to be drunk with them.

Dinner was pretty amazing. This was either my top meal of the trip or second meal, I can’t decide between the fish here or the ribs on San Pedro. Can anyone reading remember the name of this restaurant? It would be nice if I had that written down :).

One last photo of Flores, Guatemala. The entire island looked like this.

Next stop – day 3 food! (although I appear to have forgotten to take a photo of breakfast…meh…it sucked anyway).
