... get as close as you wanted, but the heat keep even the most adventurous about twenty feet away.
Since this is the wet season, it has been raining every afternoon and sometimes in the evening. This puts a serious crimp on any outdoor activities. It´s not too cold, but it doesn´t make sight-seeing enjoyable. I passed the time playing cards, repairing shoes, using the ...

... treacherous tour... one final hurdle... a hole with a waterfall and we are told we have to climb into the hole and let the watefall carry us to the bottom... this is the scariest thing i have ever had to do... especially when you cant hear the people that have gone before you... so you think they have all died in the process... we manage to climb into this tiny hole... then we are thrown down a tunnel against rocks and then land in a pool of water... we just want to ...

... only a matter of time before I was asked by this very dapper old man to dance. He must have been in his 60s, with perfect white hair and trimmed beard, who came up to my waist (the gentleman not the beard). I tried everything, “yo no se como que bailar” but he wasn’t taking no for an answer and practically dragged me off my chair. So to avoid that embarrassment, I got up and tried to control the laughter bubbling inside of me at the absurdity of ...

One note: we wrote a lot of postcards today and when we went to the post office discovered that each one needed EIGHT BIG STAMPS to post it. So, if you get a postcard which you cant actually read because the writing is covered in stamps, or you get a note from the post office saying your mail didnt have enough postage, our apologies. We did genuinely put 8 stamps on each!
Lots of love

On April 10, Good Friday, an eerie night parade around the streets surrounding the local church near our casa (house) took place.










Three huge, heavy wooden floats, featuring Mary, Jesus and the Cross, were lugged about by all the children of the town.

20th May Spent all of the afternoon drinking on a pontoon bar in the lake with a group of people from the hostel. Managed to speak to a Canadian couple who had a car and were driving to our next destination, so I quickly scabbed a lift from them. They were going to Tikal in the next morning, but said they would be back at 12 to pick us up. Fordy came back from Tikal with this pommy kid who appeared to be off his nut. I dont know how Brendan always ends up talking to these weird people. But ...

Antigua... LA destination des touristes au Guatemala : vieille ville coloniale où les églises et couvents en ruines le disputent aux édifices encore debout, 41 000 habitants et quantité de touristes et par conséquent quantité d'auberges de jeunesse, de cafés et de restaurants... Ca me change de Xela ! Et en plus, pas de bananes roses ici. Je veux des babanes roses comme à Xela !!!!! (http://www.supertoinette.com/fiche ...

... and makes your tongue almost recoil. None of us really liked it but Joseph and I were fascinated by the cashew nut on the top. (Feb. 21) Bought food at the market to prepare for dinner. Joseph just had some bananas and banana bread. I made an avocado, tomato, and onion salad with lime and salt. (Feb. 22) Didn't do much. I was feeling sick. Probably should have peeled those tomatoes last night. (Feb. 23)Feeling better today. Got up and had pancakes for breakfast (included ...

... Es wurde immer spaeter und dunkler und man konnte die Lava rot gluehen sehen. Wir stiegen weiter ueber das teilweise noch warme, bruechige Gestein, umgeben von fluessiger Lava. Und es taten sich immer neue Spalten auf, aus denen Lava hervorquoll. Dort wo grade eben noch eine Gruppe von Leuten stand, hob sich ploetzlich der Boden und ein neuer Lavastrom tat sich langsam auf. Die Tour war schon ziemlich beeindruckend. Wer kann schon von sich sagen mal einen aktiven Vulkan bestiegen zu haben?

There were no adventures today (just when I was getting to enjoy them), except that I had to reneter this entyr. I hope I do as well the second time around. I was very tired for not getting any sleep the night before and so it was very difficult to pay attention in class. We reviewed the Imperfecto and direct and indirect objects. It gets hard when I have use both in a sentence (which probably an indication that I don´t have them down pat). I will need ...
