Hello,
So I am not going to write much because I am tired and start with the fieldschool tomorrow so I want to be well rested. I will have internet a little more often because I am paying to have it in the house. I arrived safe and sound last night, but found out that we are on Mountain standard time. had a crazy drive from Guatemala city to Antigua, with dodging from lane to lane and fun curves. Oh and found out last night that I had been moved to a different host family but I am with another girl on the trip.
Today we got up and walked around. there was a marathon or something going on outside, which was fun to see. Found the church near us, but unfortunately it was locked and did not appear to have any services. Later on I found out where the cathedral is, so I will try and find mass times for next week. Met up with two other people from our group; Max who is from Hawaii and Sara who is from Holland. After walking around Antigua some, we rode on a "chicken bus" to guatemala city. This bus is like a school bus with bars added and they pack as many people as possible onto it. There was generally three people to every seat and then people standing in the aisle packed full sometimes and right up to the door. But it is really cheap. We went to the mall in Guatemala City and watched Harry Potter in 3D in a huge theater, and let me say it is a worldwide phenomenon. then rode back on a chicken bus again and met up with another student to have a late supper. Went back to house and met my host mom.
Now I am going to bed. meet up with the entire group tomorrow at 8:40 but first have breakfast at 7am. See if we can figure out how to have a hot shower tomorrow.
