Guatemala City: Where the Coffee is Strong and the Weather is... Humid
woke up to this weather...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. 13.5°c with humidity so thick you could swim in it. my hair is already staging a coup against my scalp. if you need a change of scenery, nearby towns are just a bus ride away. someone told me that the local café has the best coffee, but others say it's overrated. i heard that the museum district is haunted by a disgruntled tour guide who still thinks he's in charge.
*gear list (because i'm a digital nomad, not a minimalist):
- waterproof phone case (because humidity is a sneaky bastard)
- portable charger (because power outages are a daily surprise)
- noise-canceling headphones (for when the neighbors argue about politics at 3am)
pro-tip: if you're staying near the lake, bring mosquito repellent. someone told me that the mosquitoes there have a taste for digital nomads.
overheard gossip: the yoga studio downtown is charging $50 for a class. i heard that from a friend who's now doing free sessions in the park instead.
local review: yelp says this street food stall is 'legendary'. i heard that from a drunk local who then proceeded to tell me about his ex-wife's new boyfriend.
