A Weekend In Guatemala - Pt7. The Flight Home
Thanks for checkin' out the blog! Have you ever have one of those weekends that take a week to recover from? ...My weekend in Guatemala was exactly that! I was exhausted when I woke up on Monday morning! There were still people to see and gifts to buy, though. So, despite might lack of energy, I got up early to pack all my things and clean up the room I was staying in.
After a few last minute visits with family, my dad took me to the "Mercado Central" (The Capital's central market place) to buy some gifts for the family back home. Unfortunately, the Mercado Central is not a good place to try and take pictures. When I told my dad that I wanted to shoot in the central market, he said I'd probably get mugged if I did. He then reminded me that we didn't have a lot of time either. I think we spent a total of about 15-20 minutes racing around the Mercado Central looking for gifts and treats to bring home. That was all the time we could afford to spend shopping, since the city's insane traffic was going to make getting to the airport on time a challenge.
When we arrived, my dad and I exchanged our awkward goodbyes and a hug, before I rushed off to check in for my flight. There was no line at the airline counter, Customs' line went quick, and by the time I got to the terminal the flight just started bording. On the way home, I had another long layover in Mexico. 4 hours after landing in D.F., my flight was up in the air and headed back to L.A. A few hours later we were flying over the sea of lights that is Los Angeles. I have no idea what time it was when I landed. I just know it was a little after 11 pm when I finally got in the car.
I think my brain just shifted into auto pilot, for the remainder of the night. I don't remember much after leaving the airport. I do remember being happy to be home, though. ...And the awesome welcome that I got from the family when we got back from the airport! It was the perfect way to end an amazing weekend and journey! A journey that inspired me to explore the great city I call home even more, after seeing it from the sky at night! As we flew into L.A. and past down town, it felt more like the start of another adventure than the end of one. Little did I know how right I was...
Thanks for checking out the blog and allowing me to share my journey with you! Check back soon for more stories, pictures from my adventures, and more Bsombin'!

A Weekend In Guatemala - Pt2. Airborne Android
I ended up taking a lot more pictures with my Android, during the journey, than I did with the DSLR. But I hardly used the Android once one the ground. Here, I'm sharing some of the architecture shots from the airports, as well as some arial shots over Mexico and Guatemala...
A Weekend In Guatemala - Pt1. Flying
Hola Mundo! Thanks for stopping by and checking out the blog! Last year, for my Abuelita's 81st birthday, my father's side of the family decided to have a reunion. It was a little last minute, in the planning. And we were in the middle of getting our Summer '15 line ready, with ILUMN8 Co. So I was only able to go for the weekend of the party. But, with family flying in from all around the world, I couldn't miss the chance to see everyone again. I was excited to see all the family, especially my brother, sister, and cousins Rob, Mark, & Becky. I'm always happy to see my siblings, since I don't see them often. And I hadn't seen my cousins Rob & Mark in over 20 years. Becky wasn't even born, the last time I saw her brothers, so it was going to be my first time meeting her!
I got to LAX late, so I was in too much of a rush to take an pictures. By the time I got to the terminal, the plane was already boarding and I flew out of LAX late around 1AM destined for Mexico City. We landed in Mexico D.F. early in the morning, and I had to wait the for 3 hours before my connecting flight was scheduled to board. After going through customs, I got a bit to eat and then walked around the terminals taking pictures of the architecture. After about 4 hours in D.F., I was back up in the air and on my way to Guatemala. Below are some of the pics I took on the trip. As usual, I will be posting the DSLR camera pictures and the Android pictures separately. So, to start, here are the DSLR pictures first. Check back soon, for more travel adventures and Bsombin'!
