School starts tomorrow! I hope the other kids like me. I am all paid up for the next month of room, board, and Spanish lessons. Only took a little bartering to get the price I was promised six months ago. See dad, all those years of ¨like arguing to a brick wall¨ finally paid off! And if I study more, I get a bigger discount! Gotta love Guatemalans.
So I woke up to a thunder storm this morning and ran to yoga class in the rain. My yoga studio is held on a roof top art gallery at a beautiful hotel. Talk about zen. You can see the roof tops of all of Guatemala not to mention a beautiful view of the volcano. The building is ancient and covered in 100 year old foliage. I took lots of pictures but the lighting was bad and Bella just wouldn´t approve. So I shall try again on a sunny day and share. Yoga was lovely, an hour and a half of gentle restorative poses to calm my nerves about the hard work and excitement ahead.
It pretty much drizzled here all day, but it´s not really a sad rain. It is warm and smells wonderful, and is pretty much the reason there are 500 different shades of green here. I would not advise walking on the wet cobble stones in flip flops however. I know from personal experience that can be very hazardous.
So tomorrow I am starting off with four hours of Spanish lessons in the morning and salsa dancing lessons in the afternoon. I´m so excited, can´t wait to meet my teacher. Oh yes! And other good news, as soon as I receive my nursing license in the mail I can begin working at the big hospital 5 minutes outside of Antigua. So when I get back to the states, technically I won´t be a new grad anymore right??? Well maybe that´s a stretch but a girl can hope right?
Love and miss you all. Sorry this ones a bit lengthy!
