Hello again from Guatemala!
I have finished my 3rd week of my month long course, which means only 1 week to go until RobO arrives! This week has been ok. We were focusing on the mental aspect, which includes things like Tarot cards, astrology, and numerology. Interesting stuff, but it doesn’t resonate with me like the emotional 2nd week did. I’m still feeling grounded, energetic, and glad to be here!
Roxanne and I have been going to our favorite little Guatemalan restaurant every few days. It’s called Marinos and it’s run by a brother and sister. It’s been so fun for me to practice my Spanish while eating amazing home cooked food! This week we received a special gift. The sister, who was super pregnant when we met her, had her baby and Juan (the brother) invited us to go to the neighbouring town of San Pablo to meet little Benjamin. So we went with him in a tuk tuk to their family home and spent some time holding the 6 day old baby.
We liked San Pablo so much that we walked there yesterday to be able to check it out. Below you will see pictures of the school, the arcade, and just life around the tiny village. It was really refreshing to get away for a couple of hours. There are so many hippie gringos here sometimes I forget I’m in Guatemala!
And another interesting thing…
As many of you know I’m going to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain, starting in the middle of May. The other day I was walking along in San Marco and I saw the well known symbol for the Camino route on the side of a building. I’m taking it as a sign!
Cool!,
