Antiguan Coffee and Rain

Tracy and I came to Antigua today to begin our long awaited Spanish classes. Alas, we arrived at the place to find that they had no record of our booking and that all the teachers are in training on Saturdays until the end of the year! So instead we are drinking coffee and chai and I am trying to catch up on some communication because I have been dismal in the past month or so. As you know.

Rainy season has started in Guatemala. It started in style because there was a hurricane in Honduras and the rain washed over in to Guatemala. And it rained and rained and rained. And the roads are now falling apart, you have to swerve all over them to try and miss the big chunks that have come out and which the wheels of your car could get stuck in. In Boca del Monte where Victor lives it is the worst. And I go there quite a lot. And when it rains there all the roads flood and it is very exciting driving through, like an adventure movie, and you can’t see the road so you can’t even swerve over the big pot holes and any moment you could plunge into one!

    Sounds a bit Indiana Jones! Glad to hear from you honey. Hope things are still great (if wet!). Good weather for playing Spanglish Scrabble, I think :)

    Love from cold and windy Sydney, mi lindita!

    Oh mothers do love reading this kind of stuff….. Always so glad to know that their daughters are having big adventures on roads that are falling to pieces!! We wouldn’t want our daughters to have safe and peaceful lives would we?

    And I can’t believe it about your Spanish classes that all sounded so well arranged so long ago……or maybe, on second thoughts, I can.
