Random

Rita and I went on an excursion with our school today. Don't worry nothing crazy happened. We saw some Mayan ruins that were no where near as impressive as Copan or Tikal. We did get to see a true (not staged for tourist) Mayan ceremony-wedding, I think.




I took lots of video for the Tim and my memory card is full! I rode home with a representative from the German Embassy and her boyfriend instead of the school shuttle. Very interesting. My teacher rode with us too. Don't worry I wasn't hitch-hiking again.

I also had pizza, beer, and cake with Yohanna, the teacher I assisted last year, and Rocxana, the mom of one of the kiddie at the school I volunteered at, and her two daughters. So fun! Apparently "Dallas" sounds like a Spanish (possibly slang) word for "butt" and this is hilarious to a three year old and she definitely does NOT want to visit me in "Butt, Texas". We might go out Friday night too.

I did some Christmas shopping and some shopping for myself. I love the handmade table runners for only $10! I got one for the fall, Christmas, and Easter/spring.




The Christmas one is reversible depending on whether or not I want green or red.

Here are some random pics I have not posted:

There are garden/patio rooms but since I never complain I get rooms like this:




Here is a gorgeous flower arrangement in the Artisans market




And some random food pics. Hope I have not posted this yet.

Tamale, beans, plantain with cream:



And cheese, it's not as dry or as salty as last year:
