Well, I'm en route to El Salvador. I'm currently in a nice hostel in Guatemala city, where I've been taking full advantage of the internet access. I'm quite sick (yuck), so last night I totally nerded out and watched far too much of Anne Hodges-Copple's consecration as Bishop Suffragan. Hehe. Pretty great.
Anywho, just wanted to update to say that I uploaded more pictures on the Guatemala page (at the top, click Guatemala!). For some reason, I can't add captions to the pictures, and I haven't had the patience to figure out why, so I'm sorry about that. But I will explain some of the categories.
Panajachel is a city on Lago Atitlan in southern-ish Guatemala. The lake used to be a volcano, but one day it erupted and basically caved in on itself, and now it's a lake. Crazy, right? All of the pictures of "mountains" are actually volcanoes, and they all used to be the little baby volcanoes of the big mama one. It's hard to imagine how big that volcano used to be!
The pictures of my family and teachers are pretty self-explanatory. Little almost-two-year old Alejandro takes up many of the family photos, but he's just so cute, how could he not?? haha. I love the one where he's holding out his hand to catch/pop a bubble. Most of the pictures with my teachers are from the graduation ceremony. I wrote an acrostic poem as my speech, and I love this picture of me that a friend took. A reminder to me that laughter is always good. :-)
Sorry for this extra-short post. I'm working on a food post in my head, but honestly right now thinking about food makes me feel more sick, so we'll wait until El Salvador for that one! I have no idea what the internet access will be like in El Salvador (I know we're in a much smaller town). Prayers for safe travel much appreciated!!!
Peace, Love and Smiles,
Christa
