Summary This is an edited transcript of a podcast where the host and their guest talk about the guest's trip to Guatemala. They discuss the culture, food, transportation, and customs in Guatemala, as well as their own personal experiences. They also touch on the importance of being open-minded and respectful while traveling, as well as the rules and regulations for bringing items into the country. Overall, it was a fun and informative conversation about the guest's trip and the beauty of traveling. In this continuation of last week's episode, Fawn and Phoenix are discussing more things from Fawn's trip, such as pharmacies, food options, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Fawn was pleasantly surprised by the variety and availability of fresh produce in Guatemala, as well as the lower cost of items like eggs. She also noticed that pharmacies in Guatemala are much smaller and have fewer options compared to the US. Overall, she found it refreshing to have simpler and healthier food choices while traveling. Transcription Speaker 1 [00.00.00] We’re I think as Americans so used to having so many more options. Listener discretion is advised. Today's episode may contain references to, or jokes made about topics that may not be appropriate Speaker 2 [00.00.14] for younger or, quite frankly, Speaker 1 [00.00.16] more sensible audiences. There will almost certainly be dreadfully mispronounced words Speaker 2 [00.00.19] some bad editing, and at least one terrible impression. Welcome to the show. Hey, hey. It's the Phoenix Rose Show.

I'm Phoenix Rose, and today we are back with Fawn, continuing our conversation from last week. Today we're discussing things from her trip like pharmacies, food, eggs, fruit, bringing food into the country. Without further ado, let's get back into that conversation. Speaker 2 [00.01.46] Now, when you were down there, you guys didn't have to go to a hospital or doctor or a dentist or anything, right? Speaker 1 [00.01.52] Correct. Okay. Luckily, yeah. Thank goodness. Although Speaker 2 [00.01.56] I did kind of want we did walk by the pharmacy and they're like completely open and just all the stuff is sitting there and like, nobody's really watching anything in that kind of threw me off. Well, Speaker 1 [00.02.10] except for the armed guards with the shotguns across their Speaker 2 [00.02.13] chests. You know, there wasn't anybody in the one that I saw. Really? We I did see another one that had, like, guards on the outside, but the one threw me for a loop because there was like, nobody. But you can see there was still stuff in it. I almost wonder if it just wasn't anything of value and they were moving everything to a different pharmacy maybe. I don't Speaker 1 [00.02.34] know. Their pharmacies are definitely different. Usually they are very, very small. And like here I think of a pharmacy and I think of a chain pharmacy that has not only medications but also snacks. And yeah, like school supplies in great different foods and drinks and. Right, I mean all kinds of things. But there are the pharmacies are usually small and they just have a small assortment of medicines and baby formula, um, some health and beauty aids, usually a little bit of bug spray kind of things, but they're tiny, tiny little places. And usually you don't really go into them. It's just Speaker 2 [00.03.21] you walk up. Speaker 1 [00.03.22] Yeah. You walk up and or if you do go into it, it's just like one big counter behind or one huge shelf behind the counter with all the supplies that you don't wander around the pharmacy and go shopping. You just tell the person at the counter what you need and they go get Speaker 2 [00.03.39] Yeah, the one that was on the corner that I saw that nobody was there was literally just like a wall in a counter with like the open window that you walk up to. There was no way to get in. Yeah. Mhm. I'm like how the does that work. YouSpeaker 1 [00.03.56] just walk up there and tell them what you need and if they have it they'll pull it for you. You pay for it and walk away. If they don't have it, sometimes they can tell you who might have it. But they don't have the variety. Like here we can go to our local drugstore. And if you're looking for acetaminophen, there are eight different brands, right? And if you are looking for Tylenol there's this dosage to this many you can get Speaker 2 [00.04.25] you can get different quantities. You can get ten of them 20, 30, 200, 500 a thousand. You ...
