Changes!

There are a few changes on the horizon this weekend to mention:

My dearest companions are leaving for Honduras

I am MOVING!! This one I am most excited about. I have the same anticipation and feelings I had when I moved in with this family. Although I´ve very much appreciated and somewhat enjoyed the hospitality with my host family, I am looking forward to a) no curfew b) having an outlet to actually practice my Spanish (my current family is indegenious and their native language is Kiche, therefore, their Spanish is not so bueno) and c) living next to Corinne in a new part of town! We will be neighbors and it is a pretty centralized location, still in Zona 1 and still near the central park areas.

I finished my final Spanish class today with Tonia. She was GREAT!!! I loved working with her and she stuffed me full of information today to practice and use for the next 3 weeks with the ninos at EDLAC. I´m going to work a lot with my new host mom on practicing the conditional and future tenses in spanish. I am having trouble with indirect object but hopefully that will change with more practice. I figure as I´m teaching the basics to the little ones it can only improve my own Spanish.

Not sure of my plans this weekend as Corinne and Ben are headed to Fuentes Georginas (the hotsprings around here) for Saturday and Ben is departing from Xela on Sunday. I have loved having him here!

Here are more pictures but this time they are of my favorites in Guatemala: favorite views, favorite people and favorite places to study. Enjoy. Descriptions to come...some time ;)
