Lazy Saturday

My new neighborhood

I woke up this morning only moderatly confused as to where I was. My room is small and modest with a bed, table, and corner shelf. Just what I was hoping for. My house mom (can´t remember her name but I think I will just call her Madre anyways) has promised me the big room as soon as the other students move out today. She is so sweet and has one of biggest, kindest smiles I have ever seen. My sister Veronica seems very outgoing and fun. She gave me a big hug when I got there and showed me all around the house. It is set up sort of like a dorm that houses about 8 students. A tiny woman (forgot her name too dangit) does all of the cooking, cleaning, and laundry for us and insists that I don´t help. I think she is convinced that I speak fluent Spanish and talks very quickly to me all the time weather I understand everything or not. Gotta learn some time right?

Mi Casa #24

The house has a full kitchen for us to use and a fridge and cupboard for snacks. But the food is so yummy I don´t think I will need to use it much! Last night we had Guatemalan style spagetti, fresh bread, and sweet plantains for dessert. Yum!! I´m sure the students will come and go as most people stay in Antigua for weeks as opposed to months. Right now my house mates consist of an English girl, a Canadian girl, and three Germans. I look forword to making a few more friends from around the world!

The road to Antigua!
