After school on thursday we went to Comitan only two hours away instead of going all the way to Guatemala in one day to get our passports stamped. The reason we had to go to guatemala is because when we crossed the border they didn't stamp our visas even though we asked them. Right after we left town we encountered a road block. Because the Mayor took some money to buy some property, the police wanted their money back so they blocked the road. Though for some reason we didn't have to pay. After some patient waiting and some Pepsi they finally let us through. Our drive to Comitan was really pretty and we had a cool hotel. After we parked the car and dropped our bags off we went to the plaza and had a great time. There were decorations, good restaurants,good climbing trees and some really good food. After some dessert we went back to our hotel and watched a spy movie. In the morning we got up pretty early and ate breakfast at the hotel and then got on the road. When we got to Guatemala it was a little confusing but we finally got our passports stamped and were on our way. we got stopped by some army men two times but they let us go in both cases. on our way back we stopped at some old ruins and played tag on an ancient old ball court. The next day we had a soccer game ech of us and we won them both! after our soccer games we went to a string if a bunch of shops and got some more soccer socks and a mexican jersey for my dad. Then we had a normal night for the rest of the day.



This was a couple weeks ago just so you now.

  1. I'm glad that you are finally legal! I'm also glad that you got through the road blocks. Congratulations on your soccer victories. (I hope that your dad has some videos to post.) Are you going to get a Mexican jersey, Oscar, or are you sticking with Germany?
