We were able to get away from the hustle and bustle of Antigua this last weekend and enjoyed a few days at Lake Atitlan. My mom (Kallie's), Lorrie, came with us since she is here visiting for two weeks.
It was great to be able to hike, kayak, and spend time with my mom. Two of the hardest things for us since we’ve been here include being away from family and not having easy access to nature like we did in Montana (not that its not here, we just don't know yet how to get to it). Fortunately, we had both of these and were left feeling refreshed!
Over the last 10 weeks we have spent 200 hours with our teachers Majo and Erika. We have seen our teacher-student relationships turn into friendships. We have watched many soccer games together, met their families and made dinner for them one night. Shane and I both want to continue these friendships when we move and are praying for good friendships in Coban to materialize. We are starting to anticipate the move which is just two weeks ahead of us.
A typical Guatemalan breakfast (on the fancier side). Huevos, frijoles negros, platanos fritos y tortillas (por supuesto).
Our hotel at Lake Atitlan was absolutely beatiful and "tranquilo" (possibly a little side trip for anyone that would like to visit us).
Kallie,
ReplyDeletei miss your sweet smile so much ! I found your blog on Davids computer and feel like we've connected again. Please give us a call and let's do something before you guys head out.

I want you to take us Kyacking (sp???) at the lake too ! You guys are so adventurous ~ we really need to stay in touch ! Much love, Melinda Evans
