A tourist in a city from a tourist city. My second country, brother visit. After my sister came to visit me, she said “it was nice to see you in your second country.” i feel like that is what guatemala is for me now, a second home. it is the only place i have lived outside of maryland and dc. When i arrived more than a year ago, my plan was to live or travel in latin america for a year. i planned to spend the first two months in guatemala, but was open for what came next. He’s a teacher and just to...

https://neilpayne.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/springbreak

A tourist in a city from a tourist city. Spring break, summer, fall in xela. Guatemala has a reputation as a land of eternal spring, but there are two recognized seasons. summer is the dry season and winter the wet. Fortunately, the rainy season here is not bad. every day, bearing a storm passing thru, there is a good stretch of sunshine or at least a break in the rainfall. The rainy season starts at the end of may and every summer there are two weeks of canicula (sp? Almost no rain and a bit more warmth.

A tourist in a city from a tourist city. Is one of the most impressive sites for seeing mayan ruins, in the world. some people know of it because it was used in the ewok scenes in star wars.🙂. One of my room-mates in xela has a friend visiting from the states and i’m tagging along with them to see tikal and semuc champey. It’s nice to step away from my routine in the city which has been a bit more busy lately between volunteering, dj-ing and a bit of work at an internet cafe. 11 May 2008 at 9:55 am.

A tourist in a city from a tourist city. Yoga house, here i come. I’m moving again! The apartment i’ve been living in has been really nice, but there are a few rules that got me looking to move along.

One thought on “ yoga house, here i come. Culture shock, bac...

A tourist in a city from a tourist city. I got this from my sister’s blog. feel free to give me recommendations to read, whether it’s a book from this list or not. I was rarely a reader while growing up and often found creative ways to do book reports. I try not to have regrets, but do realize i’m not well-read and am a slow reader. that being said, let’s get to the post…. Here’s how it works:. 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 21 Gone With The Wind ...
