Tuesday

Hard to believe tomorrow will be almost a week- it's going way to fast.  There are many ex-pats down here, I could see myself doing the same in a few years.  It is surprisingly expensive for some things - I was paying up to $14 for lunch but I have gotten smarter and finding the cheaper places to eat though I am eating at least 2 meals at Dora's.  Saturday and Sunday I will do an overnight side trip to Lake Atilan and Chichicastenago, which is a very large market - oh oh more shopping!  I justify all the things I am buying because I am paying $10 per day for accomadation and food and of course, I am also supporting the economy.

Public outdoor laundry facilities

I will be sponsoring a little boy named Jose who is 8 years old through the God's Child Project for $30 per month.  Today I will receive more information about him and maybe some pictures which I will post.  It is cold here - sunny but not hot - evenings and mornings are very cold.   Fortunatly I brought a few warm clothers!
