Anatomy lesson

Mon, 3 Jun 2013 | By amak | Views [287]

So, what better way to humiliate myself than discussing human anatomy? This was bound to happen at some point. My Spanish tutor was telling me about a type of Mexican drink, a mixed drink that is made with tequilla and comes in a big, blue bottle.... Read more >

Zip-lining

Sun, 2 Jun 2013 | By amak | Views [270]

And then, dun dun dun, we went zip-lining. I was a bit hesitant about doing it this morning, but when I found out that it was about $30 US dollars, I had to do it. And I am so glad that I did. At some points on the cables, we were about 20 meters ABOVE ... Read more >

I've never even been to Mexico!

Fri, 31 May 2013 | By amak | Views [269]

This morning, I was walking into class, and Raquel (the director of the program) was waiting at the door to the convent. Because the other Anna in the program and I are the only students who have a complicated schedule, we don't have time for lunch and ... Read more >

Bird sounds

Tue, 28 May 2013 | By amak | Views [245]

What a great day for my language skills. Oh boy. I started out by saying “Mercias” to the server at breakfast. I was describing to her that the birds here are pretty damn funny. My conversation went something like this, “Yeah, the birds here are ... Read more >

Agua Caliente

Mon, 27 May 2013 | By amak | Views [209]

Well, I was on a mission today to get hot water.  I was totally okay with accepting if we didn't have hot water, not too many people in Guatemala have it, so I was bracing myself to just suck it up and deal with it.  But then, lo and behold, ... Read more >

Stagnent in San Marcos

Sun, 26 May 2013 | By laurenphillips16 | Views [231]

When stagnation sets in, and you're no longer learning new things about yourself and testing your limits, its time to get on the road again... Don't get me wrong, it is absolutely beautiful here. Surrounded by Lake Atitlan, beautiful jungle and 3 ... Read more >

Arrival in Antigua

Sat, 25 May 2013 | By amak | Views [160]

This language immersion is starting off well.  I was trying to ask for my key from the front desk.  The poor man at the reception just looked at me like I was crazy.  I realized that I had just spoken straight French to him.  Ahhhh, ... Read more >

Quetzaltenango, the crazy city in the hills!

Mon, 13 May 2013 | By jahne | Views [2068]

CRIB NOTES!   San Marcos was hippyville - think yoga, meditation, drugs, dreads and ´spiritual enlightenment´. Next stop Quetzaltenango (Xela), a big town in the mountains. Volcano climb to watch another volcano ... Read more >

Tulum to San Pedro and all in between...

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 | By jahne | Views [1341]

CRIB NOTE VERSION I stayed in Tulum longer, it was fun, relaxing and great people. Next Bacalar. A reasonably dull lake. Yay. Accidentally got stuck in Belize City (Uber dangerous place) for the night. Whoops. Met a very interesting Belizian ... Read more >

Semana Santa - Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras revisited.    It was a culture shock to return to Cancun after 3.5 weeks in Cuba but lovely to see Tamara before she returned to Australia. Finally went to the beach which is really an amazing ... Read more >
