Stuck in Paradise

Hola! We are writing again from San Pedro...We are "stuck" here because our bank detected fraud with our ATM cards. Then they shut down our account (without telling us), and now we are waiting for new cards to be delivered. Apparently all of Guatemala is "high risk" for ATM fraud. Sweet! 
Nevertheless, we have been enjoying ourselves.


Studying: Meet our wonderful Spanish teachers, Eligio and Letty. Our "classroom" was a beautiful garden next to the lake!

Eating: MMMMM. Pupusas. Enough said.

Volunteering: Our English students; the most well behaved kids on this Earth! Please note the 3 sets of identical twins in the class. What's in the water down here?

Jumping

Falling
Swinging: from trees

Hiking:  This is "Indian Nose"  Can you see el nariz?



Summiting: (is that a word?) San Pedro Volcano, the volcano in the background of the "jumping" and "falling" pictures.

Eating: This time with family! Yes, those are blue corn pancakes.

Celebrating: Semana Santa festivites include making "alfombras," street carpets made of dyed wood chips, fruit, veggies, and other natural materials.


So, our cards WILL (read: should) arrive tomorrow, and then we will head to Semuc Champey - a waterfall/cave/swimming hole/river mecca, and then on to El Salvador!
