Above I've unpacked and have all the essentials which includes a photo
of my little host brother Cristian on his graduation from kindergarden.
then I was off to Antigua Guatemala My favorite town in Central America to finish my final research paper to graduate This place is the perfect setting. Unlimited FREE wireless all over town Tons of cafes with strong coffee perfect weather (almost) and beautiful surroundings oh, and pretty cheap living! After the first week, I ran into an all too familiar bump in the road. Strep Throat. uuuuugh. I hate my tonsils and will be consulting a doctor about getting them out as soon as I return to the states. Luck for me, I have a wonderful friend who took care of me. Once I walked around town, pharmacy hopping I found a medical "professional" who quickly prescriped about 5 different prescriptions... I bought the pain killer spray stuff and the antibiotics and disregarded the rest 4 days later I was back to reading, researching, writing, and drinking copious amounts of caffeine |
 |
| Flowers from my friend Fatima to celebrate finishing my paper!!! Also, once she delieved the flowers to me at the cafe where I was doing my last edits the baristas there joined in the celebration and I scored free chocolate cake and free cappuccino! I love Antigua. True Amor. |
 |
| After two weeks of researching, writing, and being sick I was free to celebrate! This included a lot of , drinking of margaritas, dancing barefoot on rooftops, swinging in hammocks, buying new scarves, making friends, walking the beautiful streets of Antigua, photographing the streets of Antigua, BBQs, riding on motorcycles (I wore a helmet most of the time I swear). And a general celebration of life and youth. |
 |
| The best Sandwiches are at Metiz. Find it near the square on 4th Ave. |
 |
| one of many rooftop views... and one of many margaritas! |
 |
| soaking in the city by night... |
 |
| the beautiful home of Fatima's Aunt who opened her doors to me. Such a great setting to have a great visit with my girl Fati! |
 |
| Little boy we met while bar-b-que ing on labor day (here in Guate) His family shared their grill and table with us... as the whole place was full with families taking advantage of the holiday to spend time with their families |
On the way back to Antigua and with a belly full of hotdogs
One of the motobikes has a slight problem with the clutch....
But this little guy and his father help out
 |
waiting for the guys to do their work |
 |
| Kids running around ... |
barefoot rooftop dancing
|
trying to boogie down and shuffling
|
 |
| My favorite thing about my friend Fati ... is that I'm never dancing alone! |
