Still in San Pedro, and LOVING it! The weather is amazing, the people are awesome, we love our family and our school! I`ve been really busy this week because I started a business at our favorite local bar, El Barrio. I found a store in town that sells marshmallows (angelitos in español) and I`ve been roasting marshmallows at the bar and selling them. Apparently, roasted marshmallows are not common in Guatemala... so they`ve been a pretty big hit! They`re kind of pricey though, I charge one hug per marshmallow :) But most of the time, people don`t pay me.
Yesterday was the birthday of one of our friends here, a Canadian guy named Dan. We planned a big party for him at El Barrio and I spent all of yesterday morning blowing up balloons and hanging crepe paper in the trees and on the ceiling. It was a lot of work because no one else from the decorating committe showed up to help! We made invitations and gave them to everyone around town. We even had a cake made from a local cake lady, and everyone sang happy birthday to Dan in English and Spanish! All of our friends from spanish school came, as well as some of our teachers, and other people. And, of course, there were roasted marshmallows!
Yesterday we had another soccer game against our teachers, and sadly, my team lost. However, I score 4 goals! And most of the game was spent with Tara and I pushing each other around, and not really focusing on the play. I think that our teachers think we are amusing and strange. And they`re right.
I think that you should charge some pesos for the marshmallows. I guess that having your team lose is not much of a surprise if Tara and you, the team Stars, spent most of the time wrestling. And how is that Spanish instruction coming? Do you hear many people saying, "Los locos American ninas!?
ReplyDeleteHey there gals! We still need PICTURES!! So glad you're having a great time, and hopefully your Spanish is coming along as well. I think you should get the hug FIRST, then give out the marshmallows! ;-)
