Most of my days are consumed with studying Spanish and I haven´t been spending a lot of time in the Internet cafes. I love my new housemates from Denmark. They are so kind, silly, and fun... the only kind of girls I really like to hang around. We are taking a trip to lake Atitlan this weekend. I have heard it is very beautiful and and am really looking forward to the fun. Plus it will be my first experience on what is called a ¨chicken bus¨ around here. Loads of sweaty people crammed on top of each other, their merchandise and produce to be sold at the market tied on top of the bus. I´m sure it will be an experience! Photos to come.
Other than Spanish School I joined a local gym. It offers the basics of most American clubs: free weights, weight machines, exercise machines, and a few exercise classes. Some of the machines are a bit geriatric but they work. Surprisingly, they have quite a few nice stationary bikes for cycling class. I took the class last night and holy smokes, what a workout. Only me and 2 other people were able to complete the entire hour and a half of intervals but I definitely had tunnel vision towards the end. So I am defiantly enjoying getting into a shape my body hasn´t seen since high school/ early college!
That´s all for now but I´m sure I will have some fun tales from the weekend. Thanks for keeping me posted with emails, texts, and facebook. I love and miss you all!
Oh but I forgot!!! Me and Leña (Bella´s sister for those who don´t know her) officially have an apartment together in Denver!! It´s a sweet little basement apartment right across from city park in downtown Denver. Mally and Beans will be in heaven. It´s a really great area, safe and close to everything. I´m so excited and relieved to have living arrangements taken care of for when I get back. To Carrie: I´m no longer trying to find a place to live (in a fake Spanish accent) Hurray!!!
Not so flattering pic of the results of a downpour.
Flash floods on the way home from the Gym, had to swim across the street!
