de San Pedro La Laguna

Buenas Tardes amigos...I am currently in the lakeside village of San Pedro, on the opposite side of the lake from Lago de Attitlan. I am having some difficulty typing today (either from the wacky keyboard I am on or from the day spend watching La Copa de Mundial in the bars here), just kidding...but seriously. This keyboard is messing with me quite a bit and I am having to hit backspace quite a bit so before leaving you emptyhanded with this weeks adventures, I will give you a bit of a teaser until tomorrow or Monday (at the latest). This week was a celebration of a friend´s birthday in San Lucas, the disappointment of the elimination of the U.S., much hard work at Nueva Providencia on the aquaponics project, and two fabulous lectures at La Parroquia by Padre Gregorio and a medico Guatemalteco, Dr. Garcia, watching slapstick comedies in Kaqchikel...This morning I came to this small, rather bohemian village with a German couple I met in San Lucas to enjoy a weekend away. As great as San Lucas is, it is quite tiresome for me to be there a full week. I plan to spend at least a week or two traveling around the country (maybe head up to Tikal for a day or too, Xela, Chichi, possibly even swing down through Honduras into El Salvador on my way back to the mission) in between staying in San Lucas and studying Spanish, solving the worlds problems, etc. Pues...hasta entonces amigos, tienen un buen fin de semana. Hope all is well at wherever you may be reading this and if you aren´t living on the edge, YOU ARE TAKING UP TOO MUCH ROOM.
