Monterrico!

Last weekend, I took my first vacation to Monterrico, right on the Pacific coast! It was a black sand beach...absolutely beautiful. I stayed in a quaint hotel called Hotel Delfin, with the ocean right outside my back door. The town of Monterrico itself has only 2000-3000 residents, and it seemed like every single one had a hammock in their house. The town also boasts a wildlife sanctuary and turtle preservation museum. After the last two months of changes and stress here in Guatemala, it was such a relief to just lie out by the beach. Here are pictures of the beach and the wildlife sanctuary....
