Hot Chocolate

I had a pretty low key weekend. Friday night i went dancing, ofcoarse. Found the same guy that flipped me the friday before. He showed me some new moves. I received an apology from Sergio for being stupid last weekend. He asked me if I would like to hang out again...no drinking this time. We drank hot chocolate and played chess for a few hours at a local cafĂ©. He´s a nice person and great salsa dancer so I gave him another chance. Sunday evening i went to the movies and saw "The Messangers." Typical horror movie with bad acting. It cost 25 Q or about $3.2. Took what they call the "micro bus" for 1 quetzal or about 15 cents to the mall. The movie was in english with spanish subtitles. A pretty cool project is being coordinated at the cultural center next door. They are trying to put on the vagina monolouges and recruit women in the community to talk about their experiences and write. HELLO! This is so up my ally. I talked to one of the other American students that is going to coordinate it to see if i can help out. The first meeting will take place in November.

Tani,
nothing like some good hot chocolate to soothe the soul. All of your adventures sound so amazing & I'm sure you are making life-long friendships! I feel so bad if you have tried to call & I haven't answered, I read that it 1 of your other blogs. I only got 1 message from you, but I will be home tonight & most nights after 8 or 9 if you ever want to talk again. I'm leaving tomorrow night for Miami until sunday & i'm so excited!! The Red Sox just made it to the world series & that starts tomorrow, so I'll be planning some of my events in Miami around that! I hope all is well in Guatemala, i'm so jealous that you are salsa dancing so often, you will have to show me your moves when you get back. I miss you so much & I can't wait to talk to you & see you. be well, be safe & have fun! I love you! xoxooxoox

Love, Caroline
