THE DIRTY HAMMOCKS

Here is one of our landmarks on the way back to the Hotel Longarone from Gualan. It's not uncommon to hear a team member say "Did we pass the dirty hammocks yet?" If we have, we know we're getting close to our hotel, which seems like an oasis at the end of our hot days in Gualan! Some day we are going to stop and check these out! The hammocks are actually beautiful and very colorful. This highway is the only road that cuts across Guatemala and goes to the port where all the fruit coming to the U.S. is loaded onto freighters. Dole and Chiquita trucks are driving by all day. So, unfortunately a ton of soot and dust is kicked up by all the vehicles that pass by, so everything gets very dirty. I've always wanted a hammock but don't know where I would put it!
