Hace mucho calor!

It´s been a gorgeous and sunny weekend. Until the clouds fill up with more water than they can hold and it all comes flooding down. But for the most part, as long as I hide during the afternoon storm, I´ve been drying out. My German friends left on Friday so now I´m alone in the house with my family. Which means I haven´t spoken any English to anyone for a few days now so that´s good right? Yesterday was a big day for the market. It can be a little overwhelming because everyone just yells and shoves their merchandise at you. But you get used to it. I bought some fruit and veggies for the week and a little washcloth for trenta quetzales which equals about 4 dollars. I also tried some treats, not really sure what they were. Coconut something perhaps? Yum.
I started the morning with pictures on the Panza Verde rooftop where my Yoga class is held because the lighting was so nice. You can check out the pics on facebook. Then I had a pretty nice yoga class and made some yummy breakfast. This afternoon is more studying and maybe a trip to the market for some fresh strawberries. I need them for the 4th of July cake I´m baking to take to class tomorrow. Not many 4th of July celebrations around here... not too sure why not?
I am definitely looking forward to starting work at the hospital. I am used to leading a slightly faster paced life than this and its starting to get to me. I do love having the time to sit in the park and practice Spanish. It´s not too hard to make friends there who want to help you. Below is a picture of a woman and her daughters that were selling jewelry. Chatted me up for a while. I miss you all. Please send me updates of life back home. Lots of hugs.
