What a week! To sum it up, the week consisted of: a huge orchid farm, a coffee tour, Mayan art museum, hiking in a national park, learning, winning, and losing a Guatemalan card game called Konkian, attending the 70th birthday party of the lady of the house I am staying in which began at 5am with firecrackers and mariachi players, and exploring a cave! Of course, I have been learning a ton of Spanish too, in the 4 hour language classes. Another week here and then to Casa Guatemala. I have to say it is now 70s here! I think this is my kind of weather...
