Week One
Okay been in Guatemala for a week and it's all about settling in and getting used to the place. This week has been mainly about discovering Antigua, meeting all the other volunteers and having intense one on on spanish lessons. Met some really nice people so far. Joelle who is in the same house with me and Ella who arrived at the same time as me. All the other volunteers are really nice too.
The whole town is really beautiful, all buildings are no higher than 2 stories high due to Unesco stipulations and earthquake stipulations. Apparently there's a few few tremors occuring here along with the odd active volcano!! There are a lot of old ruined churches and colonial buildings scattered all over the town, some you can visit and others you have to peek through the railings. Got some great shots of Fuego smoking away during the week which will be added to the photo gallery in time. Speaking of smoking volcanoes, on Saturday will be going up Pacaya which is an active Volcano with Joelle, Ella and Laura so that should be fun. Keep tuned update coming soon.
