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? 🙂
