Zone 13

As Guatemala is a pretty dangerous city to explore on your own I decided to just stay in a safer zone away from downtown and close to the airport. There were a few things to do in this zone, there was a zoo, museums and markets. At the zoo I saw many different types of animals from around the world like lions tigers and bears oh my lol. There were also a lot of monkeys and I really liked the giraffes. At the zoo we saw a show in 3 D about prehistoric animals (monsters) of the sea. The handi craft market was down the street and had your basic Guatemalan goods and a lot of silver and jade. I bought a little silver toe ring, well I hope it is silver, I guess I will know if my toe turns green if I go ripped off or not. Then we tried to go to the modern art museum but it was closed for a private showing so we only got to see the national Museum. It did however have some really beautiful statues and engravings as well as a cool cave with real paintings inside the cave. Leaving tomorrow for San Jose then home!
