As my voyage comes to an end...

Guatemala and Honduras were awesome!  They ancient Mayans have some pretty sweet ruins.  On our first day in Guatemala I went to a coffee farm which was very interesting.  I tried some coffee that I actually liked.  Then we went out for dinner and I was the only one brave enough to order something on the menu that wasn't obviously put on it for tourists, and of course it was delicious.  I got up very early the next day and went on a SAS trip to Copan, Honduras.  We stayed over night in Copan, and I went horse back riding and the next day we saw the ruins.  We returned to the ship that day also.  Then I took y last exam on the ship and three days after leaving Guatemala (which was yesterday) we transited the Panama Canal.  That evening we also had a prom like evening with a fancy dinner and then dancing afterward.  I made my dress on the ship with material I got from India.  There was supposed to be a fashion show but it got canceled.  Oh well.  Tomorrow is our last day.  There is a convocation ceremony that the acapella group I am in is singing at.  It should be fun.  I am pretty much completely pack, and I can't believe all the stuff I had to pack.  I hope I can get it all of the ship!  I have been having the time of my life, but not gonna lie, I am excited to be almost done and can't wait till I am home!  Next stop: Florida, USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
