Good Times With Sarah

Overlooking Antigua Volcan Pacaya Laundry Pilla

Thanksgiving Dinner at Earth Lodge Volcan Pacaya

Well as you can see we´ve had quite a good time this last week. We met Sarah Hylton at the Airport in Guate city on Tuesday afternoon, and sadly she leaves tomorrow afternoon. We have spent lots of time wondering the streets of Antigua, window shopping, taking pictures, and trying out our spanish on unlucky antiguanians. I have to admit her spanish is pretty good, and she seems at home here. Sarah and Andrea spent the first morning here with a proyecto visiting families in a nearby pueblo. They were able to see how very poor guatemalans are fairing, and listen in as the social worker tried to assess the situation. Hopefully they can expound on this experience later either here on the web, or in person when you see them! Of course on the flip side we have used this visit to spoil ourselves as well, eating in some nicer restaurants, and the food Sarah brought from the states! I have more or less taken time off from Graduate school stuff for the past week as well, so I feel refreshed and ready to attack the final push. Also in our news, we have put down a deposit on a new apartment in Antigua! We will be moving in next weekend, so give a shout out for us that everything goes smoothly. The place is very comfortable, more or less we have our own room, and then we share a courtyard garden and large-stocked kitchen with others. Although now there is very few other guests as this is the low season for travelers. Also we will be selling our beloved red dragon scooter, which I am a little sad about. Its been good to us, and so I´d like to sell it to a good home, and of course for a good price which may take some work!

Adios amigos, Luke
