A Piece of History
Pension Mesa in Guatemala City is a piece of living history and if you have the chance, put your things in self storage and head here. It is reputed that Che actually stayed here during the brief rule of the leftist president Jacobo Arbenz, who was later over thrown in a CIA sponsored coup. The first time I went it was with a friend who all she remembered was that it was at the corner of tenth avenue and tenth street. If you know the city, you will know that it is a complicated web of streets and avenues, but remember that it is in zone one, get close and then ask directions. This place absolutely screams of banana republics, revolutionaries and travellers that have been gone for a little bit too long. The rooms surround a court yard and at night the guests get drunk and swap stories, try to be cool and you will hear the greatest tales here! There is a small cafe that does breakfast and a brief paramour actually proposed marriage to me, one morning when I came into the room with the Guatemalan breakfast delicacy of fried plantains with fresh cream and cheese, and a steaming cup of the local coffee. I met some friends here that I will keep and it is a great place to hook up with people if you want to head into the interior for further adventures. I went to Mexico by bus and the voyage through the mountains was so beautiful I thought I saw god.
