There were three major modes of transportation in the towns we visited that we would like to share with you:
#1. Riding in the backs of pick-up trucks.
This is how we arrived at the worksite each morning, riding down a dirt road in the back of a pick-up. Here are Jesse's thoughts on the pick-up rides:

#2. Riding in a Tuc-Tuc.
These are the cabs of San Martin. Julio (our guide) told us that they may have been given the name 'Tuc-Tucs' because of the sound that the engine makes.
#3. Old American school buses.
These seem to be the main form of public transit. Most of these buses are painted bright colors, covered in chrome, and equipped with huge horns. We literally saw well over one hundred of these buses just in our drive to and from the airport in Guatemala City.
