How much coffee do you usually drink?

“Usually in the morning, I like to have my coffee after eating breakfast. Usually with Champurradas ( pictured here ) or Pan Dulce. I grow my own coffee beans too! So I know it will always taste delicious!”

Do you have any family? Like siblings?

"Yes! I used to have many siblings a very long time ago. I do remember being close to one of my sisters than the rest.."

"I can't recall her name but today, she would have been addressed as Tikal, a city-state that no longer exists. There were many city-states when i was very little, so I had many siblings. Most of them are not here anymore, though"

"And I suppose I view my nyo counterpart as a sort of sibling. Her name is Marisol, we pretty much represent the same country"

Do you go to Tikal National Park often?

I do actually! It’s very nice there. I go whenever I need a place to reminisce about centuries old things….I grew up there actually so it’s a nice place to be nostalgic.

I also go whenever I find myself missing Ixyax ( my sister, who represented the area long ago before it was a national park ).

it’s a very comforting place to me :)

Are any of your volcanoes active?
