After a long bumpy and grumpy ride, Sasha and I finally made it to Quetzaltenango (Xela). We are planning to stay here and study for four more weeks. The city is beautiful, quaint, lacks too many tourist and has great character. The family we are staying with could not be more perfect.
Being here is fantastic, but I´ve had a bit of a harsh introduction to Xela. When I left the states in January, I had hoped the weather here would be warm. I had hoped that one shirt a day would be sufficient...instead of 5. In San Andres, the temperature was perfect (for me), but I am afraid for the next four weeks I will be wearing my leggings and smartwool socks every day.
Now that I have embarked on a new adventure, I´d like to make a tribute to San Andres, and all the things I will miss (In no particular order).
