Illicit Activities

Part of what makes the Guatemalan experience enjoyable is the overall more relaxed nature of their rules. We find ourselves really appreciating the opportunity to hike up and actually touch lava (if we're stupid enough to do it), ride crammed in the back of a pickup truck (if we're desperate enough for the transportation), jump out of tall trees into pools of water, and jump off of high bridges into the river (if we're crazy enough). Here's a collection of our amusing illicit activities.

Kelsey jumping off of a bridge that was even higher:


Riding backwards in cars:


Riding unbuckled in cars:

In an age when every city park has been sanitized and sterilized to the point of being dull, I'm glad we can break out a little bit and do some thrilling/risky things without anybody stopping us because they're worried about being sued!
