we DO have music at home and everything is super-great here now...
| so yeah - WE DO actually have a CD player in our house here....!!! it was just a bit hidden away underneath some Guatemaltecan artesanias.... but I asked Marta Julia the other day, and then we were playing some of my salsa CDs and she looooooved them and now we're listening to them all the time.... yaaaiiii....great..... guess I gotta make some copies for her, cause she really enjoys that music.... and also my teacher Rolando wants a copy of my CD with the Salsa version of Careless Whisper now.... we've been working with some songs and on the translation of the lyrics over the last 2 days and it was super fun.... aaahhh - and Carlos wants copies of my CDs as well of course... so again - super-big THANK YOU again to Max and Victor for mixing and burning those CDs for me before I left London.... they're the only 2 that I took on my trip, but everyone who's heard them so far really liked them.... thanks guys...!! went dancing again last night at TOREROS....was lotsa fun and actually better than TUE at SIN VENTURA cause the dancefloor is a bit bigger and we had more space.... Hermance and Sonja were too tired to go out, so Doreen (the girl from Hamburg who's actually an actor at the Thalia-Theatre there) and I went there with Alex and Jeremiah, who live in our street as well..... was great and we had our very own personal body-guards on the way back home again.....super-safe...!! In return we taught them their first Salsa and Merengue steps and they were both doing really great for their first time on the dance-floor...!! Carlos, his brother and their friends got there a bit later as well and was lotsa fun again to dance with him.... so now everything is really great here and I do actually feel very much at home and not like a tourist anymore.... at night we always eat dinner together at our house and Marta Julia is really like a mother for us....super-sweet.....she reminds me a lot of my first teacher at primary school, Frau Bonk. Hopefully I'll have some pics of her to post here soon.... tonight it's Chris' last night in Antigua (another student in our house, who's going back home to the US tomorrow morning), so we're gonna have a Goodbye dinner for him.... but he's a theology student, and doesn't go out very much, so I don't think he's gonna go dancing with us tonight either.... as before, the food here is just amazing...!!! I really haven't eaten so much great, healthy and freshly prepared food every day for a long, long time... and no stomach or any other health problems here for me at all..... maybe a few mosquito bites, but that's all..... and everybody keeps telling me that I really don't need to be worried about Malaria here.... I'm gonna meet some people from CS over the weekend, and planning some trips to Lake Atitlan, ChiChi and some volcanoes as well.... should all be great.... hope you're all gonna have a great weekend, wherever you are at the moment.... hugs and kisses from Antigua.... |
