Posada La Merced, judging from your photos, seems a delightful place to spend a month. I\'m very glad you have arrived safely, are enjoying Guatamalan coffee, and are looking forward to your stay. Will eagerly await furthur accounts from \"Los Gringos Viejos\". Abrazos, Rosalie

Beautiful sun all day Friday, but we've come home to rain... Keep the blogs coming.... (Which hotel are you in?

Thanks for the education!
Martin, I'm very ignorant of ancient civilizations. So reading your blog is an eye-opening experience. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and your travel experiences!

Very interesting!
I can see that this was an amazing tour! I love OLD things, so I will likely love Winston more the older he gets! Ha!

ANZAC
Just a note; every town and city in NZ and Australia seems to have a memorial to WWI and many post names of those lost in Gallipoli. On our visit this year we stopped at many very small towns, both on the cruise and overland, and saw these monuments everywhere. ANZAC day, commemoraing the WWI and II troops is a big holiday.

Best of Martin, Carol and Turkey
I'm lovin' it, guys! It's not only your superb prose style and vivid details, but the connection you make imaginatively and emotionally with one of the great historical crossroads. Thank you for so much evocative charm--in your subject and its tellers. Travel forever, Amigos!

Two Texas Thumbs up for the Turkish Blog, dear Brother, from Quedlinburg, Germany
The pic of you in that Turkish hat is great, and the text is entertaining and witty--as always. I enjoyed finally taking a look at your blog after a rather busy day. Since I'll be leaving for Berlin this coming Tuesday and then into the air to FRA and DFW on Wed., I'm forcing myself to get "close-down" jobs over with. This has been an excellent stay in Germany and I'll have a lot to tell you once back in Lubbock. I plan to put out an Obama sign in the middle of my thorniest cactus and get to work for him with TexMex DEMO parties, mariachis on the roof and plenty of tequila. Abrasos, M

On the WordPress blog I was The Old Gringo, but somebody took that name before me on TravelBlog, so I have translated it into Spanish as El Gringo Viejo. I was a Chemistry Professor at Wayne State University until 2010. Now I am retired, and with my wife Carol I travel a bit every year. She loves the Spanish speaking countries, while I prefer countries that don't really exist any more: ancient Rome and Greece and the Greek colonies of Sicily, Italy, and Turkey; maybe also Tolstoy's Russia. I promise not to write up the boring parts.... full info
