I'm all settled in for the night again. The game was amazing! It was so exciting, the players went head to head all game, but no goals were scored until over time, where both teams barely squeezed in a goal. They went into penalty kicks and I got to see the Guatemalan National goalies at their finest. Both goalies did an amazing job but Club Jalapa came out on top. I even got to meet Luis Molina, the goalie from the Jalapa team, and he signed my jersey! He was amazing!After the game I took a bus around town to see the sights (well only some of them). There are some interesting things in Guatemala City. My favorite by far was the Jardín Botánico. It was gorgeous. To get in, I had to enter through El Museo de Historia Natural. The museum, which opened in 1950, has a growing population of exotic bird and mammal species. My favorite part was the butterfly house! I never knew there wer
e that many types of butterflies! Once through the museum, I stayed in the gardens for hours it seemed! Everything was gorgeous! I learned that it was the first botanical garden set up in Central America and that it was currently the largest with 18,000 sq. ft. of beautiful scenery. I opted not to take a guided tour, but simply decided to look around and the beautiful collection of local and exotic plants.
