Later today I will have an update or two.

 If you want a preview, search “Semuc Champey.”

Well I must aoplogize for my dilatoriness in posting. Much has been happening in Antigua and I’ve finally found some time to update. Spanish is quite an interesting language to study. Yeah, I get frustrated, but I want to learn. This past week I visited a colonial house, macadamia nut plantation, Lago Atitlan, church ruins, and the pueblos around Antigua. Enjoy.

So coming down here I expected nothing. Well, I expected to study, but Guatemala is so much more than language schools. First, it’s absolutely gorgeous and second, there’s so much to do. Here’s a bit of what’s been happening these past five days.

I wish I brought a Lonely Planet guidebook.

Well after three days of the run-around with the American Airlines personnel in Guatemala City, I received my last backpack. Some other passenger had taken it and returned it. Thank Goodness.

I’ve done so much so far. Guatemala is much more than what I had expected, which was nothing. I really didn’t do much researching prior to departure. I think the most amazing thing I’ve done is walk twenty minutes in the dark this morning to a tourist agency to go on a trip to Volcan Pacaya, “the most active volcano in Guatemala.” It’s quite the experience to stand a few metres from a lava flow.

Oh and language classes are going well. HA.

Cheers.

Stupendous
I was able to see all my siblings, hang out in Dallas, and arrive safely back in College Station.
Foul
Brazil lost, Christian’s car’s battery died, and I ran a flat half an hour outside College Station near 1A.
