Dear Harry and Charlie the English Lads,

Oh wow, there is so much I could say about you two considering we spent quite a lot of time together. Let’s be honest, you probably know way more about us than you actually want to…

Anyways, with that being said, we met both of you while kayaking on the beautiful Lake Atitlan. You guys were playing Frisbee in your kayaks and asked if we would like to join. With no specific plans ahead of us, we paddled on over and thus began our adventure through out Lake Atitlan for the next week or so.

There was never really a dull moment with the two of you--from being our first interviewees for our documentary to being our translators and bus buddies (and when I say bus buddies, I really mean bus cushions, considering we practically sat on top of each other on our Chicken Bus adventures).

You both were quite a lot of fun to hang out with and you reminded us of our two cousins back in the States. Who knows… maybe you are their dopplegangers, or they are yours? Regardless, you two became our travel family through your crazy antics and brutal honesty. We could make fun of each other (which happened quite a lot- see facebook message for evidence…). We could call each other out on our crap (both literally and figuratively) and we could just sit in silence comfortably (even though we know that didn’t happen very often).

You also really encouraged us to work on our documentary. Thank you so much for your participation and support. Also, thank you for finding us a sweet crib in Xela (a pizzaria...our dream home) and giving us advice for the rest of our trip.

Charlie, we will always remember you considering we have more pictures of you than all of us combined... this may be creepy, but you were destined to be in front of the camera my friend!

And Harry, what would we do without your Spanish skills? We probably would of ridden a Chicken Bus all the way to El Salvador... next time.

I am sure we will meet again, but for now, I will say adios amigos!

Inspired por you,
Kristen, Kelli, and Kailynn

P.S.- Your air biscuits are manky.
