Pub Quiz Night in Guatemala's Margaritaville

There is not a lot to do here in San Pedro.  San Pedro is located on the shores of Lake Atitlan.  Gringos come here for the wonderful climate, friendly people and cheap booze:






































As you can see it's Happy Hour pretty much all of the time (Q8 is equivalent to US$1).  Many of the older gringos are happy to pass their days in a gentle alcoholic haze.

Such was the competition for our first and only Pub Quiz Night.  To make it even more unfair, we got teamed up with a Third Grade teacher which was pretty much perfect, given the level of the questions. 

It was hard to tell who was more out of it, the Quiz mistress or the patrons.  Here are a couple of the Quiz mistress's model answers:

Question:  Name the prehistoric monument located in the county of "Wilshere"?
Official answer:  Stonehinges

Question:  Who wrote "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times"
Official answer:  Charles Dixon

And here is one of the contestant's answers:

Question:  Who was "La Giaconda"
Contestant's answer:  Margaret Thatcher
