I'm in Guatemala...!! SAFE.....and loving it here already...!!
yeah, only just arrived here a few hours ago....but it's great...!! Juan Carlos and Luis from my Spanish School were at the airport to pick me up....and another guy who lives in the house next door...they brought me to my home for the next 4 weeks at Marta Julia's house.... she's grgeat...!! the place is perfect.... My room is big big big....I have 2 beds in there...huge wardrobe, table, chairs....just perfect...!! there are 3 other students staying there at the moment.... Sonja from Germany, Chris from USA and Hermes from France.....only met Sonja and Chris so far, but they seem alright.... talked lots of stuff with Marta Julia, all in Spanish....and she said I don't have a German or European accent at all....yaaiiii....great.... I think she was a bit impressed with how much I was actually able to speak, cause Sonja knows hardly anything...
just looked around Antigua for a bit....beautiful...!! really like it....and everything is so easy.... Lots of Inet Cafes....got a 10 hours card for $ 6.00, so that's cool.... and tomorrow I can also use the computers at La Union as well...
Found Carlos Salsa Academy and will go back there later to meet him....
so I think I should actually be really tired, cause for the last 4 days, nights, I really never slept more than 4 hours....kinda normal at a Salsa Congress, and I did actually feel fine the whole time and not too tired or worn out.... and still do now.... but I guess it's also cause everything is new here and exciting and soooooooo nice.....
yeah, I think I'm gonna have 4 great weeks here....!!!
and I napped a bit on my flights this morning from San Juan to Fort Lauderdale to Guatemala....so that's cool....stop in Florida was nice, especially to warm upin the sunshine there for an hour after the flight on the super air-conditioned and freezing plane....
aaahhh - and reminded me a bit of the first time I went to Florida for New Year 95 - 96....
the lady at the check-in in San Juan was super-sweet and offered me an exit-row seat for the first flight with lotsa leg-space..... and then on the flight from Ft. Lauderdale to GUATE I did actually enjoy sitting by the window - even though I normally much prefer aisle seats with more space....
but it was really nice to just look out of the window, down on the ocean, clouds and the few parts of land that we flew over....thinking about the last few days in PR, ,the 4 weeks I've been trraveling so far....the people I've met, things I've seen and done..... and just replaying a song in my mind over and over again.... nice....
oohh - and sth. completly different..... I took my first 2 Malaria tablets last night.... tasted a bit of Chlorine, but wasn't too bad....and I didn't die....ahhah...
and now Marta Julia actually told me that there is no danger of Malaria in Antigua and I also don't need to worry about a Mosquito net here....yaaaiiii.....great....!!!
okies, gotta go now.... hope you all had a great weekend....
Lotsa love from Antigua de G. und bis bald...!!
