I can not believe this is my last week at Miguel Angel Asturias! The time has flown by! I'm getting really excited about going back to Hogar de Vida though.
Saturday I had a pretty relaxing morning because I decided to not do the activity with the school. They were going on a two hour bike ride to see a historical church and then to ride the two hours back again. That's not really my idea of a good time haha. I slept in and the walked around and ended up at a cute little cafe for a little while. Since it was Tim's last day, when he got back we went to Blue Angel to finally try their burritos. They were pretty delicious. Then Jodi met up with us and we watched a movie and afterwards we went to another restaurant because Tim really wanted to try a mango mojito before he left. It was a nice relaxing day. I went to bed early because I had to wake up at 5 AM the next day to leave for the market in Chichicastenango. It was a little difficult getting out of the house because the older son parked his motorcycle right in front on the door! Good thing I'm small or I wouldn't have been able to squeeze around it. I kept thinking please don't fall over, please don't fall over haha. Thankfully, this time we did not take a pick up truck, we were in a nice comfy microbus and I even slept a little :) The market was huge and crowded. I got to practice my bargaining skills and I think I got some pretty good deals. I bought all the stuff I wanted to and only spent $15! It seems like you're spending a lot when you're shopping because its like Q115, but then when you do the math and it's only $15, you realize that you hardly spent anything at all.
Sunday night we got a new student at the house. Good thing too because I didn't really want to be alone. Sometimes you just need someone you can speak English to. She seems nice and she's in med school like Tim was. So many med/nursing students come to Miguel Angel Asturias.
Yesterday during class, I had Joaquin take me to get a new phone. We went to the mall and I bought the cheapest one they had which came with 100 minutes and was only like twenty bucks. Then, I got a text message saying that Tigo (the phone company) was giving me a whole month of texting for free! I was pretty excited about that. Afterwards, we went to Taco Bell! I got some nachoes and they pretty much tasted the same as they do in the states except that they had guacamole on them. But, whats really weird is that they have french fries!
Today I'm going to a temporary children's home to play with some kids :) I can't wait!
