LA VIDA BUENA

The past two weeks have been devoted primarily to studying. In the mornings, we have 2-3 hours of home school, which has its ups and downs, but on the whole, is working well. In the afternoons, Grace and Gloria study Spanish for 2 hours with Roxanna, and I study with Marco for 4 hours. It wears out our brains, but we are all learning quite rapidly. We usually break up the day with a walk about town, either to do errands or just to see what's out there. One day we walked through a nearby cemetery and often, we find ourselves down Calle Santa Lucia at the video store. Tonight we brought home The Wizard of Oz. This morning, we went out for breakfast and also bought all the bus tickets we will need for the rest of our time in Guatemala. We leave Saturday morning at 4:00 a.m. for Flores and Tikal. I'm actually looking forward to the 9-hour bus ride, as it will take us through some beautiful parts of the country.

Here are some random shots of the Guatemala Garfields.
