Has it ever happened to you that you remember places bigger than they are? And then when you visit them again as an adult, they are tiny... Well, I firmly believe it is because of our own perception, our present it molds our perception and it depends of our state of mind, how will we see things, places or people.

Oh yes! Has to be an amusement park I visited regularly as a child. It was da thing! Coolest ever. New experiences and grandness of it all.
Years later as an adult, we become jaded by life. Some things are never as ‘grand’ as you remember it to be. I’m actually afraid to get on some of those roller coaster rides now, lol.
Yes, our perception of things change as we grow and experience and learn. I do agree. Will be interesting to see your perception of Guatemala with years of traveling and experience under your belt. Was the culture as you remembered? Are you still wowed by the country? Or did the luster and grandness of years past fade? 🙂
