Buenas Tardes

Life is good here. I've already learned alot and can have basic conversations! The verb structures and rules in Spanish are crazy and hard to learn but i'm going slowly. My teacher Maria is amazing, it's fun to watch her be excited for my progress. She's taught english for 25 years at the school. Me gusta mi maestro en espanol.
I've been meeting interesting people and spending time with some of them out of class, staying up too late, etc. Angitua is gorgeous, lots to explore. The town is today overrun with a cruise ship full of people, crazy to see them walking around town with their badges taking pictures of all the mayans, it actually makes me ill to watch. They have no idea of where they are and the stories of this place. I feel such priviledge to know as much as i do and to be connected in a very different way.
Still trying to borrow or find a downloading cord for the camera, we'll see.
A week to go....
