Seeing as I've been here for eleven months, it was about time the final Nicchi came to visit! Lisa ever-so-sweetly graced me with her presence this past week. This simultaneously meant we graced Guatemala with our silly sister moments and our ridiculous amounts of laughter :)
We checked off quite a few bucket list items while together. We visited a macadamia nut farm to eat mouth-watering pancakes (oh, and I guess to see how they harvest the nuts..), pit-stopped at a coffee plantation for Lisa's java fix, played with the babes over the weekend, tested my English students' abilities with Lisa's minimal Spanish, and traveled up north to Semuc Champey.
While all of it was a blast, I would have to say that Semuc topped the cake. It is a picturesque collection of limestone pools that glimmer under the afternoon sun. It was here that we scaled pitch black caves via candlelight, floated down the river, hiked to the famous viewpoint, swam in the deliciously turquoise waters, and even found ourselves amongst a Latin lover (our tour guide!). It certainly was a sister trip well worth the wait.
