Beautiful Guat

We no longer have wifi at our house, which I really like--but unfortunately it makes it difficult to post on my blog.  The last week consisted of some very intense verb-learning and concluded with a group trip to Guatemala City.  I will post a more introspective post soon, but I haven't had the chance to write one as of yet because I always feel rushed with limited wifi.  But for now...

Here are some more pictures! :)

Our house doesn't have any flowers, but they aren't too hard to find if you look around town.  I love the exotic colorful blooms.  Here's one at La Union, our Spanish school.

Some kind of flower at Azotea Coffee Plantation.  This one is actually pretty common around Guatemala.

The aftermath of walking home in a torrential downpour and making the decision to use my raincoat to protect my non-waterproof computer.  I love the rain, but my computer--not so much.  It survived mostly dry but needless to say I now put my computer in a plastic bag whenever I go anywhere in the afternoon.

One of the volcanoes near Antigua.  We have lots of mountains at home in Oregon but it's crazy to live so close to one (and an active volcano, no less!).

We went to a very large indoor market in Guatemala City and I could not get over how beautiful the produce was.  Tons of colors and different types of fruits and vegetables, open bags full of beans, seeds, rice, and dried things, and more.  It was incredible.  And I thought France had sweet markets.
