Little beggars trying to sale us stuff. They sure do have a line.
Enjoying good chocolate ice cream at POP"S.
Enjoying great food!!!
Eleven people in the small van. WOOHOO! Tomorrow is Friday. Today went to a town called Pastores to visit a boot making factory. It was an interesting outing. We rode in a little van to Antigua, there were eleven of us in the small van. In Antigua we got a bus to Pastores . Rocky bought a belt (cincha). We then got a bus back to Antigua, the bus had seen its best days already. One of our group began to sing “In the Ghetto”. When we got back to Antigua we all went different ways. Rocky and I went to McDonalds to restroom (the cleanest in Guatemala) Got a coffee and checked email on their computer and there was a voice mail from Joy but we had no speakers to hear it.(CULTURAL SHOCK) Tomorrow I will have to get to a internet to hear from her.
On our way home from Antigua via bus I was thinking about how much I am enjoying Guatemala and I really enjoy the buses. You never know how many people will be in a seat built for two or how fast you will go and they go pretty fast between speed bumps which are everywhere. A totally new experience for me to do public transportation. It’s not bad.
While in Antigua Rocky and I went into the market again today only second time to enter. First time we ask a police officer where to buy a light bulb and he took us into the market. It reminds me of kind of being underground while in there. Like a maze. But you can find anything you could want there. I just would not want the light to go off while I was there.
Language is progressing and we change teachers on Monday. I really like my teacher now but hope new teacher does not give me so much homework.
It has been raining a lot and it is cool. Someone said something about a hurricane that might come to Guatemala but we have not had any news while here. I do not look at news on pay internet!
More Later.
WOOHOO! It is Saturday morning and we plan to rest all day. We just got through with our breakfast, a ham and cheese sandwich with ketchup. We get that often for breakfast. For those that know me very well know I do not do Ketchup at all but you would be proud that I eat what is set before me but not always with right heart. Working on that. Will go to internet in San Juan in a bit to update blog and try to connect with Joy and Kevin. Missing them much!!!!!!!
Last night we went to Antigua to celebrate Rachel’s birthday and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was wonderful. A little taste of Texas.YUMMMMMM! I had nachos and they were delicious. Rocky got a glass of tea just like he likes it, been hard here to get tea without anything else in it,JUST TEA. There was live music and it was good.” Guatemalan” The restaurant is owned part by an American couple from Nashville. They do fundraisers for a group of children to go to school that would otherwise not get go.
It is raining and it has rained for about a week almost nonstop. Preparing us for Ecuador. Will go and get ready to go to internet and post.
I have a few moments so I want to write about a couple of things. First Rocky and I do not throw away things like in Texas. The other day Rocky had an ice cream in a cup at McDonalds and I actually b rought the plastic spoon home with us for later use. Also we have a Ziploc bag and Rocky washed it out and dried it for later use. We have gone “green” in Guatemala. Another thing is this little pickup that drives up and down the streets with a loud speaker advertising “Z GAS” we always mock the way it sounds. People use the little 5 gallon propane takes to cook with and he delivers to your door. Maybe one day we will record the sound and post it.
Just tried Packet 8 phone but not work!!!!!!!
