I´ve been meaning to tell you that I now go by ¨Dorotea¨. I bet Mammy finds this comical because we forever lament not being able to go by our first name and how confusing this makes things. Lorell is nearly impossible for Guatemalans to say so from day one, I introduced myself as ¨Dorotea¨, my Spanish class name from high school. It has to be ¨Dorotea¨ as opposed to Dorothea because ¨th¨ is equally as difficult for people to say as a hard American ¨r¨. But what´s really funny is that my Danish friends call me something different all together. They say ¨Dortia¨, not sure how that developed. So when I get home I might answer to just about anything!
Ha, well I´m off to Tikal on the night bus tonight. This is a very secure, very private tourist bus so no worrying! I anticipate this being one of the most amazing experiences of my trip and promise to take lots of great pictures!! Miss you all!
