ok
so you have no idea how much white bread ppl eat here, almost every meal there is white bread. Also the amount of salt that my house mom cooks with is almost unbeilevable. I think that if she dosent cut down she is going to die in the next 5 yrs. Plus the fact that she has been sick for the last 2 weeks and not getting better. I am not trying to sound harsh , it is just fact. There is a pretty bad flu going on here though, and i dont know if ppl get shots or not. I wonder
Here everyone has shinny shoes! i know it sounds funny but it is true. Therefore there are shoe shinners every where, and if you want your shoes shinned you find one sit down and they do it right then and there. It cost 2Q which is about 25 cents. Now they range from 5 yrs old to 50 yrs old. i know it is sad but if they cant afoord to got o school they have to work. I think it is also paassed down, so if your dad was a shoe shinner so are you.
It has been really quite cold here for the last three days, not as cold as home(i am not complaining) but because it is so humid it is bone chilling. But it is funny, cuz i still think it is quite warm so i am wearing a skirt and a tank top and every local is wearing jeans a sweater and a jacket, it is like they are freeziung. so they look at me like i am crazy
I am al alone here now. All my friends have left so i am not realloy talking to alot of people and spemnding alot of time alone. That is ok, it is good for ppl like me to learn to be alone. I was also thinking that even if i could talk spanish fluently i dont think i would be talking very much, i just dont have alot to say. But i may be wrong.
This sun my teacher is throwing here parents a big b-day party i think they rae both turning 65. Anyways so i am expecting not very mainy ppl cuz well i know that their poor. so i asked how many and she said 70 ppl. Their house isnt even big enough for 20 so they will end up on the street, isnt that crazy!!!! i am going to try to go but i dont think that i get back from tikal until later, but who knows.
So
jen i hope school is going well, i am glad that you get to get out of the city!! how is you know who!!!!
sheila glad to hear you havent sold the house, how is everything eles?
matty mi amor!

Hey Lady,
School is stressfull right now; I'm about to go hand in an anthropology paper....I have no idea what kind of mark I'm going to get. Then its poli sci study group this afternoon, and then I'm getting out of the city! Yeah! I am very much looking forward to it. You know who is fantastic; things are going really well. It's too bad all your friends are gone; but you're right, it is good for you to learn how to be alone. However, I don't know if I beleive you wouldn't be talking very much if you did speak fluent spanish...you're not exactly the quiet type :). Anyway, babe, I should get going. I love you,
Jenn
Hey baby, 3 more days of work! I cant wait to see you, it's so exciting. Hope you have fun in Tikal tommorrow, be safe. I talked to mom after her transfusion, she said she's already feeling better, Isn't that crazy? Hopefully that was the only problem, that's a load off my mind for now. It would'nt be cool to leave for the trip while worrying about her. It's like -25 here, I cant wait to get out of this weather. Usually I'm good with the cold, but since we've been planning the trip it seems to be getting to me more and more. I think I'm just being a baby though. That birthday party sounds nuts, it's gonna be like a small wedding reception. should be lot's of fun to see how the older crowd get's down! So is it OK if I give your blog address to a couple of people before I leave?, it's probably the easiest way to keep in touch. Anyway I'am gonna say goodbye for now, gotta head to the gym and work on the beach body! Miss You. Love You.

Hello,
Thought I would write a quick note. I am a reader, but not much of a writer. Sounds like this is a fantastic experience, and I am glad you are not complaining about the cold! Anyway, continue having a great time!

I'm green with envy! Cam
