Attempt to reach Lake Atitlan in Guatemala is harder than expected |S6-E64|

I am trying to reach Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, but to get there is a bit harder than I thought. On the way, I first make a stop at beautiful Antigua though!

I enjoyed this episode. Very charming old towns however; it was not a wedding you came across. It was a "Quinceñra" traditional hispanic celebration of a young girl turning 15 years old and goes from child to womanhood. I thought I'd put my two cents worth for those who do not know hispanic customs.

[@pollekepmtb]

Thanks Luis I did not know that. Always nice to learn something about other people. Greeting from the Netherlands, have a nice day.👍

[@rogermty1971]

I think if the dress is pink or purple it means Quinceañera, like sweet sixteen in the USA. If her dress is white means it’s a wedding. You can also tell by the age of the lady, although sometimes this is a bit more tricky.

[@rogermty1971]

@@pollekepmtb Do you have Sweet Sixteenth in the Netherlands? I like to know different cultures.

[@janjager2906]

@@rogermty1971 No not really, a big part of the Netherlands was reformed to a protestant believe system 4, 5 century’s ago and they where very ‘strickt’ in there believe of how to be a good Christian. Celebrations like this did not fit in their views. Maybe in the south/east part some tradition’s survived, however I have no notion of this. You can give sixteenth birthday extra weight, but that’s equal to both sexes.

Noraly, that volcano is call "El Volcan de Agua" or "The Water Volcano or Volcano of Water". The City was destroy by the eruption of the Volcano that flooded the city and subsequent earthquake. Antigua Guatemala is a beautiful place designated by the UNESCO as World Heritage Site. Antigua is a must visit place. I recommend you visit the Maya ruins of Quirigua and Tikal and of course the Rio Dulce, the Lake of Izabal and the Castle of San Felipe of Lara, you will love the beauty of those places, Enjoy Guatemala!!! from Dallas, Texas.

Antigua was not destroyed by Volcán de Agua (it didn't even exist yet), Dueñas/Ciudad Vieja was, which is why the capital was moved to Antigua.

I traveled to Guatemala once and I can honestly say the people are VERY kind and welcoming. It seemed that I made new friends everywhere I visited. I remember one morning being awaken at the crack of dawn by a group of four musicians serenading me outside my window. A family that I met only a few days prior, remembered me mentioning it was going to be my birthday that day and gave me that priceless gift. It was the first time I've ever been serenaded in that fashion. Most memorable trip of my life.

That cathedral you explored is about 4 blocks from where I am living now with a Mayan family that bailed me out of the hospital after a bike accident, brain surgery and two strokes...when I was in the hospital with two strokes and paralyzed so I could not move my arms or hands, the grand mother there age 92 prayed for me and the next morning I awoke able to move my hands and fingers normally... that was in January 2021... I am 81 years old...ThI am about 90% recovered now. And helping them build a business. I visited the same cathedral about this time last year when I was still using a walker. I have a retirement visa here. It is nice to know that we crossed paths.... earlier I lived for 3 years in Panajachel at Lago Atitlan... Santander street is the main drag there, the Kitch Cafe is where a few expats hang out. it is one block from its intersection with highway 1 as it passes through Panajachel. The high speed launches that cross the lake to several of the small towns on the other side are best taken in the AM before the water gets rough and pounds dangerously on your back if you are not sitting near the back of the boat.

@@Asdfghjkl1234 Thanks, about 30 years ago, I was living in Houston doing petrochemical engineering projects and took a trip to Durango on highway 37 I think. Driving into sun with the mesquite and sage brush, bleached out white cow skulls...redish brown dust on the horizon....and the spirit of a vastness far beyond this world. I have forgotten the name of the town about half way to Duango.. straight out of the 1950s...it was an intergral part of vibe... every single soul was from the 1950's.. even the dust was from the 1950's...painted...like president Truman browns red and yellow, the soda fountain had some white and blue, chrome and red spin around stools...then coming out of that town I was noticing the empty space between things... only the empty space... and the space between my thoughts... and I cried, and I noticed the gaps of silence between the sounds...only the gaps.. exclusive of the items... just the gaps and I left my body. When I arrived in Durango it was on a dirt road as I recall worn into the ground about 4 feet with weathered board walk on my left and a general store and saloon with dust covered windows and no paint and above a weathered balcony with curtains blowing out of the windows.... the ghosts of the ladies that stood up there waving at the cowboys were still there. On the right was yellow and red Mexican restaurant, it was dark inside probably to save on electricity...I was the only customer with a worn silent waitress... the tables had seen 10.2 million plates of beans, eggs and tortillas..she had suffered. But silent now.... like the ladies on the balcony across the street (there is no end to this sentence) Except for yourself who has reminded me of this. Muchas Gracias Phil Scott

You find yourself and hone your life purpose in these places a bit more and a bit at a time. My mother is from Santa Barbara, Chihuahua and father from Guanacevi, Durango - he was a Brazero, picking crops in Texas, NM, Arizona and Colorado during the late 50s and early 60s. He was born in 1933. After they married in Durango, they moved to Juarez where I was born. I grew in the Chicago area and had the good fortune of studying in a mathematics and science academy in France while in high school - I paid for that on my own by working construction in the summers thereafter. With my wife we’ve prioritized traveling over other things - a personal choice - we loved Guatemala. I did Tijuana to Cabo on motorcycle a few years back and have not turned back. I have my africa Twin waiting for me in my garage in Chicago - but has been in the 30-40s F still these weeks. I hope to ride up to Alaska and down through Latin America in coming years.

When I see all those churches and think about the people (indigenous) who built them. It is revealing on many levels the real history of colonization by Europe in the new world. I guess it was one way to keep the natives from getting restless, keep them busy and tired, building churches. Thank you Noraly for another informative tour. Stay safe on the next leg of your journey.

Must be the most beautiful town that I have ever seen! Would love to go and spend at least a week or two there to visit and photograph everything. Going onto my bucket list!

[@robinmccutcheon768]

So special. I’ve travelled around Guatemala but not on a bike….so I’m loving this ride with Noraly. You get a better feel for the streets and scenes. Thanks for taking us along.

The purple flowered trees look like Jacarandas. South Africa, particularly Johannesburg and Pretoria have hundreds of streets lined with them - they're spectacularly beautiful in full bloom during spring, and because they're such tall, sturdy trees they also provide wonderful shade as well. 💜 Antigua looks like a stunning old city to explore, wow!

[@kareem8533]

I have those kind of trees outside my window here in Sweden. They are called Japanese Cherry Trees.

[@saulhuicochea3887]

That's right dear friend!!!!!

[@rudolphparedes9856]

Those trees with the purple pinkish color flowers, are, in Guatemala, called Jacarandas!! And in Guatemala City, also line some avenues and streets!!!! Also, I may say, Guatemala City, has bunch of beautiful places to see, explore, enjoy and take in for remembrance…!!! Guatemala City, what is not, is dull!!!!! But, time is needed to absorb and enjoy..! But Antigua is magical too…!!! Blessings chéri….!!!

[@drgruber57]

There are also quite a few Jacarandas in my city of Whittier California, including one in my front yard. Beautiful!

The city tour of Antigua was wonderful!

[@patrickmark3678]

Thanks for sharing Antigua. Was there on my bicycle a few years ago on my way to Peru from Vancouver Canada during the International Music Festival that they have every year. It takes place in many venues around the city. They had a bunch of free concerts in the central square and musicians from all over the world. As I was heading south along the highway only a short distance from the city a few large boulders were fired from the Volcano and landed in the farmers field beside the road. There were 20 or so other boulders/rocks in the field. Had a discussion with another cyclist a moth or so later and he had pictures of a couple of guys removing the boulders to the edge of the field. When the rocks are ejected there is a large bang so you can hear and then see the rocks flying. Not sure I would be in the field. But they have probably been doing it for years! Really loved Antigua and the friendly people! The church by the square survived the earthquake that destroyed the town and you can see over the main front door huge cracks that shows the way it was constructed made it quite earthquake proof. There have been many earthquakes over the years just not as large.

I loved all the churches. So beautiful. The city itself was beautiful. I love seeing and you speaking of the history of the town along with its geological past. That was an amazing video. All of your videos are good, but this one was amazing. Thank you for the tour of the town. "Texas" on the prairie

[@storm1430]

How incredible. What an amazing town with more kind & gentle people. The history, the buildings it’s like Rome but far more beautiful with the colours & the jacaranda tree’s , you throw in a wedding just to make this town like a fairytale 💜 thank you Noraly for such an uplifting tour, you make our hearts smile 💜🙏

[@DuggleBogey]

It's kind of amazing how many other motorcycles you see everywhere and in cities. Here in America motorcycles are so uncommon we wave at each other when we see each other.

[@dreamflyr]

And at least in the Eastern side of the U.S. they make a big deal about homeowners mowing & letting the grass shoot out in the road (bike hits it just right & down it goes. Just before Noraly hit the nicely paved road I saw some horse poo on the road & I thought of the grass. I glad to Not see more of it because it would have stuck if she hit some & went down. After getting a V-Star 1100 Classic I noticed not near as many HD riders wave back. I have plenty of HD friends who do wave back and of course many HD riders wave just not as many. No problemo though, we all just love the ride❤👍💯❣

[@rhondalyn100]

I very much appreciate the judicious use of subtle music in various scenes. Lovely, haunting, sometimes...appropriately apprehensive. Marvelous support to the videos. Thank you.

[@nickauclair1477]

I love the maps. You must have quite the collection complete with your exact course traveling the world. I can't believe you're going to Alaska. It's funny that you were just under 1 million subscribers for so long, now you are growing even faster than before.

[@dereckrandell2458]

I think she got a boost of subscribers when she linked up with Charley Sinawan , was a good move for both of them. More subscribers more income, which is ok by me.

[@macalicious66]

What an excellent episode!! I love architecture and when I travel, most of my pictures are of churches and monasteries LOL. I did a moto ride through Spain and was able to stay in paradores, which was absolutely amazing and I'd recommend to anyone!

[@flhlimited]
