Land of Tuk Tuks

What about the tuk tuks, you ask. You've all seen the Pixar movie "Cars" and love the character Guido as much as I do, right? Santiago taxis, called tuk tuks by locals, remind me exactly of Guido!!!

These compact, tri-wheel vehicles zip around pueblos of Lago Atítlan all day long. They emit almost no stinky exhaust, don't cowd the streets, and can smartly maneuver around almost everything in the road. Most tuk yuks are bright red and often decorated with familar logos or symbols in various colors. I have already pick out a favorite member of the fleet, one with green cat eyes and puma symbols. Jeff loves the tuk tuk that shows little neon lights all over at night and plays reggaeton loudly. Each tuk tuk channels a unique personality and proudly wears 3-digit liscense plate. Jeff and I play a game to see who can spot the tuk tuk with the highest plate number. So far, I win at 196!
