Pineapples anyone?

How about this for a choice of pineapples? Good selection.

Lunch with friends

I haven't been in Guatemala City that long but it's already been long enough for me to have to say goodbye to a new friend. Juanita and her husband will be leaving Guatemala and going to a new assignment in Asia. I feel like I have a special connection with them because they took me to church my first Sunday here in Guatemala. Also she introduced me to other people and places here. As you can tell she has a bowl full of salad which she is looking forward to enjoying.

Making tortillas

I "helped" Lucilla make tortillas. I would make one for every three that she made. She kept saying the equivalent of more or less the ones you are making are okay. When I saw that she was making tortillas I washed my hands and said do you want to see my talent?? Of course I was joking because making tortillas is not something that comes natural for me like it does for her. She has been making them since she was a young child, her mom taught her. It was a fun thing to do and she enjoyed laughing with me.

Guarding the drinks

I don't think I would bother the driver of this truck.

Park pictures

I didn't do the ziplining at the park but I did get to enjoy walking around a really pretty park and seeing waterfalls and walking across swinging bridges. We even saw a monkey.

Pepsi in a bag & taxis

Toot Toots are the name of the small taxis like the red one below. It is like a modified golf cart. They are fun to ride in. The taxi driver is preparing his Pepsi in a bag to drink.

Fish

For those of you who have been regular readers of my blog you know how much I like a complete fried fish. Here's a picture of the one I had at a restaurant at the lake. Of course I enjoyed it but no I didn't eat the eyes like some of you have asked..
