well after 4 days in the city(guatemala that is)staying with liz and fabian(aka the butler from Mr. Deeds), getting in a wreck(i was not driving)(and accidentaly yelling choice word or two, then having to tell my friends what those words meant because they insisted) we are in antigua, and it is so much better than i thought....and have already met some pretty amazing people....its almost intimidating(like my friend Tim who is almost fluent in spanish, obviously english, and also has citizenship in Israel and speaks perfect hebrew.....i know...we all suck).....But i am ready to get a week or two of spanish under my belt so i can start helping at La Limonda(a ghetto in the city.....working with some of the kids with sports and art and such....and i mean such).....Its very interesting though....what miles between you and what you know will do to you.....I am realizing that i like the south, i like being out west....i like brooklyn.....So although i love it here.......anyways it is funny.....Although i do love the people, food, COFFEE, and incoherent spanish, I think Jesus let me think that i was escaping to an effortless untopia for the aspiring vagabond.....but in reality i think for the first time in my life, i am completely out of my comfort zone....i actalluy HAVE to grow to survive....I must have started to turn in His stomach, gone from a steady boil to room temp....pero esta bien....Agarre el dia......oh y espero verle pronto
