Time's almost up!
Well, my time here in Guatemala is quickly coming to a close. After much deliberation, I decided to actually come back to California. There was a possibility that I might stay here for awhile longer, but I think I´m ready to go after all.
I have been working at a cafe in Xela called El Cuartito. It`s a little coffee shop/bar with live music on the weekends. I really enjoy working there, the owners are super cool. It`s a fun job, making very negligible money (40Q in four hours or less than $7 a shift). But it was a great way to meet people and pass the time away making hot chocolates and capaccinos while watching the world cup games in the afternoons!
I really will miss all my new friends at the Yoga House. It`s been nice living in a community of like-minded folks, cooking our meals together, taking day trips to local hot springs, and walks through town for bake shop goodies.
I feel like I`ve learned a lot in my time here in Guatemala... from Spanish lessons to arts and crafts to world politics and scuba diving. It`s been a great experience, and now I`m ready for summer in California!
Plus, High Sierra`s right around the corner, how could I miss my favorite summer music festival with all my favorite people?! See you all real soon!

Wow, it seems as though you really started a new life down there. You don't realize how much this inspires me.
For many years people tell me to travel, travel, travel. I know it is important to see other places, but I need to do what you have done, I need to live in another place for a while and really experience what it is like to live there. You have proven to me it is posible. Mis suenos tiene verdad. (My dreams have truth?) Anyway, it's hard to think people only like you because of who your parents are. Like it's some sort of political game they play. Have fun where ever you go and keep in touch, maybe we'll see each other in Central America.
