Today felt like I live here all the time. It was the first day like that, where I woke up, went to the coffee shop and got my coffee, came back, did some work, and then realized I was in Guatemala, not Burlington or Hood River.
I met with Silke in the morning. I don't know if I've introduced her yet, but she is the lady who is really in charge of the tour, and is the person I am learning from for the tour project. Then I went out and talked to some Spanish schools about the tour. They were very receptive, which could either be indicative of Guatemalan courtesy or their actual interest. I don't really know at this point. But I will email them all again on Monday, and then visit them again sometime next week.
I spent the evening developing my own Guatemalan peanut sauce, which was a complete success, and learning card games from the three of the four other volunteers staying in the volunteer house . I'm terrible at all card games so this was more entertainment for them than me.
I was originally planning on getting a motorcycle while here, but then I kind of thought it would be useless, but after walking so much today I think it would be useful... I will see. If I do get one then that is one time where I guarantee that I will take a picture for once!
Hasta luego
