My first week has come and gone and I'm now writing this post from my tour bus accompanied by 13 other travelers plus my tour guide (I forget his name :P). Some 4 hours till we arrive in Flores wihich is an island city from what I understand with deep blue waters. :)) Should be nice. My last night in Antigua was partially spent with the new group and my roomate Denise. Denise is 22 and from Holland. She is the sweetest person I've met so far. A real sympatheti...

Buenos dias me amigos!! Today is my last day/night in La Antigua! The overwhelming feeling at the moment is.. "this sucks!! I want to stay!" I've always said the nicest place I have ever visited was Quebec city. Part of the reason for that was because of the memories that were created there and of course the beauty of the backdrop of those memories. Antigua is 100 times more amazing! I'm looking forward to the next leg of my journey... but I'm definitely going...

Hey guys. It's Thursday!!!! The day before Friday!!! Hope you guys are enjoy your day! Whereas typically Thursdays are what I call "my happy day"..

Ooook!! Now we're talking. Today's Spanish class was way more productive then yesterday! It helps that I went to bed at 9:30pm last night. I was really surprised at how much I learned today!

Maybe by the end of this tour I might give a shot and u folk will just have to google translate it. :P So... a little bit about the city of Antigua. The city is made up a little bit like a grid.

Day 3. Getting a bit of writer's block for today's posting. It may have something to do with the obscene amount of alcohol I drank yesterday (some guy even bought me a glass of absinthe!!!), or maybe the fact that I couldn't drink any water before going to bed or maybe it was the 4hrs of intensive one-on-one Spanish lessons I had today. Needless to say my mind is feeling like mush! Good news is... it's Valentines day and LoVE is in the air in Guatemala :)) I'll...
