chicken buses

The chicken buses of Guatemala have a reputation and value  far beyond the borders of GUATEMALA .  They transport a lot more than chickens and are the backbone   of the transportation  system here. They go everywhere in the country, transporting  people, dry goods food, and of course live animals. This week I had to share my seat with a woman, her two children , and a sheep.   The sheep was better behaved  than the childen.  The bus can take you 200 miles for 5 dollars although they are  often crowded, noisy, and smelly. However, the vared company makes  it worthwhile .
