Getting into local customs

So a bit of trivia for you kids.

6th century AD, chocolate was used by the Mayan culture. The word chocolate comes from the Maya word Xoxoatl which means bitter water.

I can assure you the chocolate cappuccino from cafe la Luna, Xela ( 80p - I can sense a tight arse theme emerging) was anything but bitter.

Oh we survived the overnight bus trip - got an onward connection to Quetzaltenango - 4 hours west and upwards in the highlands.
