Some Pictures
I’ve been taking pictures only occasionally here in Guatemala. Here are a few of them.
We took a trip to Semuc Champey:
And here are a few random pics from Xela:

Things I have learned in Guatemala (so far)
- A bit of Spanish.
- To like (maybe that’s not the perfect word) instant coffee.
- Related: to appreciate real coffee.
- That around $3 US per hour here is enough to support myself on very few hours. The kind-of-sort-of-enforced minimum wage here in Guatemala is around $7 per day.
- That I really like learning languages, or at least Spanish.
- That learning languages is difficult and frustrating but very rewarding.
- That I like teaching English even though I’m not very good at it (yet). I’m studying this in addition to Spanish.
- That a meal without tortillas is missing something very important.
- Many more, too, but I’m not writing them here.
I’m alive! I’m still liking it a lot here. I’m working most days, but only a couple of hours. I’m learning lots. Have any questions? Post or email!
