Finally I have pictures of Guatemala for you! Well I guess it really hasn't been that long--it seems like we've been here a week or two already. Either way, here they are. :)
 |
| The roommates! L to R: Heather, Sage, Alley, and me! It is a pretty sweet group of girls and I am SO glad I get to live with them all semester :) |
 |
| This is the inside of our house! The cement front wall (that I was standing by when I took the picture) has a wide wooden door that opens right into this courtyard. The kitchen and bathroom are to the left. I love how the whole house is completely oriented around the outdoor courtyard. |
 |
| My room! Alley's bed is on the left. There's a lone lightbulb in the middle of the ceiling but we don't use it much. Alley and I are trying to figure out how to cleverly live out of our suitcases for the next 3 months without just keeping everything in one messy disorganized slop pile (which is what my suitcase and bed look like right now). |
 |
| This is the view down our street! It was cloudy at the time of the picture because it was afternoon, and in the rainy season the clouds cover the sky every afternoon and rain ensues for a little while. |
 |
| All of the meals we've had so far have been delicious. This was our first dinner. Potato salad, scrambled eggs with green beans and tomatoes, and black beans (the chocolate-y looking blob). Apparently those slightly pureed frijoles negros are very common in Guatemala, and I'm really glad because they are DELICIOUS. |
 |
| We went out to eat at a restaurant called El Tenedor, situated at the top of a mountain. There was a big buffet and quite the view. |
 |
| Black beans, plantains, black corn tortilla, chuchitos, and a cheese-filled pupusa. Yum. |
 |
| We visited a monastery and church and this is part of the garden. Much of the garden was originally covered with stone/concrete roofs but an earthquake (or maybe more than one) caused them to collapse. |
