The buses used for public transportation here are fondly referred to as \u201cChicken Buses\u201d because you never know what you\u2019re going to find inside or on top of them! They\u2019re like our old yellow school buses that have been painted crazy colors and stuffed completely full of people. On Saturday the bus I was on was so full that three guys had to hold on from the outside. I don\u2019t have a car yet, so I\u2019ve had to use them a lot lately each time that I want to travel over to visit Yuli, and it is always quite an adventure. It typically takes three different buses to get over to her town and has taken me between 45 min and an hour and a half. The journey has certainly made me appreciate having a car normally, as the journey would be less than a half hour otherwise. But it\u2019s certainly a very authentic adventure with incredible views of the Guatemalan countryside all the way there. I\u2019ve kind of enjoyed the experience because it\u2019s allowed me to just watch the countryside and get an idea about what each town is like. I haven\u2019t taken any pictures of the buses yet, but here are a few I found on the internet:<\/p>\n
