hola amigos! Lindy, writing from McInternet (no joke) in Antigua Guatemala. After a flight delay, 8 of us got here safely...
... jk all 9 of us did :)
We drove to Antigua and our driver dropped us off at our habitaciones. I am with Clary and Marie, and our bungalows (I think is the only word to describe them) are beautiful - they surround a garden in our very own courtyard! We are living with a woman named Irma who is very nice and makes sure to correct our spanish. We have learned that at breakfast you eat fruit first, but at other meals it's last, and that soup on a hot day can be really delicious! Basically amazing.
Language school is about a 15 minute walk and in a beautiful courtyard! Actually, there are walls around every building so pretty much everything is in a courtyard (una patio). We've been a bit jet-lagged (and a wrong assumption about d.s.t. made everyone get up an hour early on Monday... oops) but things are getting better! I have learned sooo much spanish and what I don't know I can try to sign with my hands.
Antigua is very pretty, but we keep hearing stories about people getting robbed. There's also an armed guard at McDonald's... so please keep us in your prayers for that :) Tomorrow we hope to take a little hike.
Ahora, hay tarea que hacer. Adios!
Lindy
(when I have pics, and a way to upload them to a public computer, I hope to put some here. We'll see. for now imagine cobblestone streets and sunny skies - though today is cloudy - and little lost americanos)

Lindy, so good to hear from you! Please let us know how the other 12 are doing, too . . . do you see everyone at the Spanish school?
ReplyDeleteHola, Lindy! I think the time zone thing also happened to us - we thought it would be daylight savings time and it wasn't. That's what I love about Central America. Sometimes things happen...or not. It's a very freeing way to live! Love and hugs to everyone! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHey, Lindy, just wanted to say hi and let you know we're going to try to keep track of your Central American adventure - sounds (and looks) beautiful! You're down there doing God's work, but I know you'll have muchos fun, too! Thanks for writing! Thinking of ALL you Liggetts!
