Flores, Guatemala
i just thought that as ive been here a week now, i would put up an update! im staying with a guatemalan family in a small village called san jose, close to Flores. wes pend four hours a day learning spanish, and then the rest is free! the village is on a lake, so we have been swimming there a couple of times just too cool off from the heat, and this is in winter!
this week there has also been a lot f celbrations because it was independence day yesterday, so ill put some photos up at some point! we also did a traditional dance in traditional dress on wednesday, which was pretty fun!
on thursday we took part in the local basketball tournament and came second, winning a trophy! (there was only two female teams though, but the score was 6-8, so we didnt play that bad, considering none of us had played properly before!
at the moment im in flores, because we are getting a bus this afternoon to the Mayan Ruins of tikal, and then sleeping in hammocks there, so that we can see the sun rise over the ruins in the morning, which should be pretty amazing!
hope all is well with everyone anyway, and i will give you another update soon!
