L'avventura diventa più interessante mano a mano che il viaggio procede....arrivare a Lanquin non é stato affatto banale. Ieri partenza con i classici 30-60 minuti di ritardo da San Marcos La Laguna, cambio ad Antigua con l'autista che ci mette fretta per partire un'ora prima per evitare il traffico, ma avendo questo ritardo intrinseco quest'ora di anticipo si é praticamente annullata. Il bus "Maya Expedition" per Lanquin é stato davvero impegnativo per le 9-10 ore di viaggio su strade non sempre asfaltate e con la pioggia di ieri vi lascio solo immaginare. E nonostante la coperta umida ieri sono crollata dal sonno, perché qui si é nella foresta con il fiume che scorre accanto, e dopo una giornata di pioggia, asciutto non può essere?!
Viaggiando per le strade del Guatemala accanto alle campagne elettorali dei vari sindaci, ci sono due cartelli che mi hanno colpito, uno é quello dell'università "rural", con la formula studia e lavora, praticamente l'unica maniera con cui possono permettersi gli studi universitari la maggior parte delle persone di qui; mentre l'altro, all'ingresso di ogni paese c'é un cartello che dice "un pueblo que lee, progressa!"...
[ENG] The way to Lanquin wasn't obvious! Departure from San Marcos La Laguna 30-60 minutes later, but it's normal there, I learnt that, then transfer with change of bus in Antigua, with the drivers that hurries us up, unnecessarily, to depart one hour before the scheduled time to avoid traffic jam, but this always present hour of delay make disappear this hour early. The bus "Maya Expedition" to Lanquin take 9-10 hours and was a bit hard with fire roads after a day of rain. Despite the wet blanket I fell asleep quickly...because after a day of rain, here in the forest near the river we couldn't expect a dry dorm?!
Travelling on the road of Guatemala, near the election campaign billboards, there are two billboards that capture my attention, one is about the "rural" university, where you can study and work together, the only way the people from here could afford to study at the university; and the other one is a billboard present every time you are entering in a village, and it says: "un pueblo que lee, progressa!"...
