I have a couple of things to say here, one of which will make my mother absolutely flip, I´m sure, so I´m going to leave it to the very end, to make her suffer for 3 minutes.  Hee hee!   First, one of the two jerkfaces who stole my camara an iPod apparently came back to Pana last week while I was in Monterrico, surely thinking that I´d be long gone by now.  (I thought the same, but I´m still here!)  He wasn’t...

Yes, it is true. I FINALLY made it Monterrico. And those of you who know me well know that I came to Guatemala not just to hang out, but to go to Monterrico to "Save the Sea Turtles!"

So he said "Natalia, vamos a Huehuetenango." So less than 12 hours later we were packed into a pickup truck to Sololá with our backpacks and were on our way to Huehue, wh...

Ok, I am no longer stagnant. But I am still in Pana. Pajaro and I were going to go off to Huehuetenango today because I have a friend working in an orphanage there, and hes got family, but he partied way too hard this weekend and is now passed out in his house. (Or so I imagine, after seeing him yesterday) ;) I, on the other hand, partied a little bit... then fell asleep, as per usual. So while that boy is sleeping off some form of migraine, I am off d...
