This morning, Tito and I decided to take off. To Quetzaltenango. We wanted to escape for a while, going deeper and deeper into the forest. There were puffing volcanoes, the summing of multicoloured insects and an air so rich that our clothes stuck to our bodies. The forest was a wild one, so we had to use our machetes to cut our way through. To get a better view of the area we started ascending one of the inactive volcanoes. We were all alone apart from some shouting monkeys and jabbering parrots. Reaching the top, we had the most amazing view. Ancient Maya temples were looking up over the tree crowns reminding us of a great civilization. And to make the moment even more special, one of the shy quetzales flew past us on graceful wings.

Quetzaltenango is really a wonderful place, I want to go with you again.

Machetes, Willow?! I thought you were a pacifist? Don't plants have feelings and the right to live too? And what about all the little creatures sitting peacefully on a green leaf just to get chopped in half the next second by your machete... ;o)
No plants, animals nor humans were hurt in the making of this blogpost.
