I've been in Guatemala for seven days now. It seems like it's either been 2 or 15, depending on how I think about it. I'll be blogging more detailed when I return and will refer to my journal entries I'm making every day. But since I have a few minutes, I thought I'd post an update.
My Spanish was worse than I thought when I arrived, but it's been getting better every day. In the mornings we go to work. I'm on the hospital work team, which means we travel from San Miguel Escobar to Antigua and spend a few hours talking with, playing with and interacting with patients. After siesta, we go to language school, also in Antigua, where everyone's Spanish is improving.
We've done some other things, as well. We went to a garbage dump, a cemetary, some churches for Semana Santa, a market where they demonstrated a traditional Mayan wedding, hung out in a few bars and a few other things here and there. Like I said, I'll go into more detail on these when I return.
