Haha… I like that word blog. Well this is my first post to my new blog… yeah the blog name <<Livin’ in El Lago>> might be a little bit lame… but it is actually hard to think of a catchy unlame blog title. I am now half way to Guatemala (ie Houston), and I am getting ready to embark upon my journey. I leave in 10 days… ah that is pretty scary to think about. I bought a pot and pan to cook on (apparently it is hard to find a good one in Guatemala) and a book light to cook and read and write by because I hear the lighting is pretty dim in apartments, a Lonely Planet Guatemala guide, and a new Spanish dictionary… so now all I have to do is pack. I recently discovered that it does get a little chilly in the rainy season… like 50s, which is very unfortunate because as many of you know I do HATE to be cold. So… I am deciding on if I should bring a coat now or if a sweater will do… so many decisions. My parents want me to pack more than I think I need (my dad even went and got me some vacuum bags to put my stuff in so that I can fit even MORE in my suitcase… but there is of course the problem then, that things never repack so neatly).
I miss all you guys back in Colorado already!!! But I’ll bring all my little notes and presents along so I don’t get too lonely!
I love you all… talk to you soon!
