Like many old Guatemalan buildings, it has a simple wall on the front that comes right to the street, but inside everything is built around a courtyard with trees and flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Around the courtyard and outside the rooms are all kinds of historic artifacts. My hotel is like a museum.<\/p>\n<p>The room is pretty basic, but it does have hottish water, which is nice, as it gets quite cool here in the mountains. Like a spring or fall day at home.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u00b4ll spend a quiet Christmas on my own, but there\u00b4s lots of celebration around me in the streets, so I\u00b4ll be able to participate in that.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_AF2od0kWayE\/SVKqNvm5H1I\/AAAAAAAAAGI\/naqN4i_taII\/s1600-h\/_DSC0190.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283472465953627986\" style=\"margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 400px; float: right; height: 266px; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_AF2od0kWayE\/SVKqNvm5H1I\/AAAAAAAAAGI\/naqN4i_taII\/s400\/_DSC0190.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_AF2od0kWayE\/SVKp_ivftjI\/AAAAAAAAAGA\/K5jLpuZF3vQ\/s1600-h\/_DSC0176.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283472221981881906\" style=\"margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 266px; float: right; height: 400px; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_AF2od0kWayE\/SVKp_ivftjI\/AAAAAAAAAGA\/K5jLpuZF3vQ\/s400\/_DSC0176.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_AF2od0kWayE\/SVKps6At8dI\/AAAAAAAAAF4\/zuRlnFMIyh4\/s1600-h\/_DSC0171.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283471901810618834\" style=\"margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 400px; float: right; height: 266px; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_AF2od0kWayE\/SVKps6At8dI\/AAAAAAAAAF4\/zuRlnFMIyh4\/s400\/_DSC0171.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_AF2od0kWayE\/SVKpdeR4ieI\/AAAAAAAAAFw\/7y6l_tiNbC8\/s1600-h\/_DSC0169.JPG\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283471636668385762\" style=\"margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 266px; float: right; height: 400px; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_AF2od0kWayE\/SVKpdeR4ieI\/AAAAAAAAAFw\/7y6l_tiNbC8\/s400\/_DSC0169.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided that rather than face another day on the dreaded chicken buses, I would spend a couple more nights, including Christmas, in Coban.
