My traveling buddies

I traveled to the lake with David and Glynis Miller and their daughter, Debra, and son in law Chris. While we were in Panajachel we saw the largest piles of avocadoes. It was amazing how many there were, Debra was excited. Now if they would have been cantaloupes or bananas I would have been a lot more excited. But it was neat to see her excitement over all the avocadoes.

Literacy parade

It was really neat to see a parade advertising the literacy program in the Panajachel area. They had a band and different groups from the area. I found it especially interesting since I worked with the literacy program in Mozambique.

Nuts

How about some cashews or macadamia nuts? That is my size of a bag. You can never have too many nuts, that is until you have a stomach ache from eating too many at one time...haha

A trip to the Lake

The other week I was able to go to Lake Panajachel with friends of mine. The last time I was there was 1999. It has changed alot since then but the beauty of the area remains the same. There are more boat docks, restaurants and stores now but the street vendors still know the phrase, "Hey lady special price for you.".

Happy Kitty

I think it is just a natural instinct of cats to want to sleep in any bag/suitcase that you might be packing. The dog could only look in the door and wish..

Birthday party

Today I had the opportunity to go to a birthday party for a 2 year old Guatemalan whose name is Samuel. It was alot of fun. He even had two pinatas for his party. There was also a puppet show which was really cute. That was the first time I had seen a puppet show at a birthday party, that was a neat idea. I think the adults enjoyed the puppets as much as the kids did. We feasted on sandwiches, jello, and cake. It was alot of fun.
