Update from Guatemala

,

Hi everyone,

A quick update from Guatemala. I'm back at the main “casa” for the weekend after a week in Antigua where I learned Spanish with a personal teacher for 5 days. I was living in a Guatemalan family: A woman living with her mother and I ate there and sleep there everyday of that week.

But I have to admit that it was a tough week due to the food that was very different from what I'm used to eat and also because I was living in Spanish 24/24 and having to respect and understand other CUSTOMS. I'll talk about it more in my future posts when I'll be back home.

Yesterday we had an amazing day because we went climbing an active volcano call Pacaya. It has been one of the best experience I have done so far in my life! :yes: Being able to play with flowing extremely hot lava was wonderful. I suggest to everyone to do it one time in your life.

Tomorrow I will leave for an agricultural co-op. I will be there for the next 2 weeks. With temperatures reaching 35-38C it will be an interesting experience too. After my two weeks I will come back here and I will have one week left of work to do. But until then, every weekends we are going to visit the main tourist attractions of Guatemala like Tikal and Lake Atitlan.

For now, I leave you with more photos

take care

Louis

Nice post, even though it is short. I believe you that almost everything you experience there is unique. And I would like to see more of that volcano :up:
Have a nice time there :smile:

Playing with flowing lava? :eyes: You're very foolish brave. :faint:

Great to hear from you! I'm glad you're having such a fascinating time (and yes, I want to see more of that volcano too!! :D) and I'm sure even the parts which are challenging are hugely worthwhile. Looking forward to more! :smile:

I don't think 35-38C will be interesting!

Il me tarde d'avoir le détail de ton expédition :up: Eh tu vas être totalement bilingue à la fin :wink:
Amuse-toi bien !
