We spent our last week in Guatemala in a very rural area (which you've now seen footage of if you watched 'Voice of a Mountain') at 'the mountain school'. The pace is much more laid back but still I'm not sure how to write about the week without being extraordinarily wordy, so I'll just mention a few highlights:- Translating a few presentations and getting good feedback
- A cooking class to learn to make pupusas
- Hiking to a nearby waterfall (not really nearby, the hike was intense, but it was worth the
walk)- Wafer Cookies
- Playing teachers vs. students soccer the last day
- My host-siblings (2, 3, 5 and 10) and the chaos that ensues when you eat at a table with kids that age (bless your soul mom).
It was a lovely week really, but I was ready to head into Xela, spend a day in Antigua and then cross the border into El Salvador!
