We made it! We spent our first night in Guatemala City, but left early the next day for La Antigua, the 2nd capitol of Guatemala. It's a beautiful colonial city with cobbled streets. We met our Guatemalan familia on Friday a
fternoon and have been living with them since. They are fantastic. Dona Cony, the mother, is a great cook (they feed us a lot of food!) and is ever so patient with our Spanish. She has two sons, Fransisco and Antonio, and daughter, Lucky. Francisco is married to Heidy and they have a baby named Fransisco who is six months old. In Latin American culture, it is normal fo
r families to live all together like this. They are all very kind and gracious. Their home is right around the corner from our Spanish school, La Union. We started our classes on Saturday, but have today off. So far, we both like our teachers and think we are going to learn a lot. The folks are the school (well, everyone so far) are very friendly and welcoming. In the afternoons, we've been wandering around the city looking at beautiful old cathedrals and 
convent ruins. On Wednesday, we are going with a group from our school to visit Volcan Pacaya, an active volcano that you can see from town. We leave Antigua on Friday, possibly south to a beach town called Montericco.
