Xela
















We made it safely to Xela via a windey muddy road full of potholes. It got colder and colder as we went from Antigua to the highlands. We were freezing!
Our homestay family is big. We moved in with Delila and her 5 other guests on Sunday. We took this picture of Liz from our rooftop. Note the random car bench that Liz is sitting on, with a giant hole, surrounded by laundry. This is the sweet life.
Delila speaks no english so it will be hard to communicate in depth for a while. The next picture is us in front of the house. Delila´s is the white gate. The large structure is in town square. See us waving inside of it?
We took this picture of Hannah in her bedroom specifically for Mary. Douglas, the monkey that provoked many laughs from our homestay family, is enjoying his trip immensely.
The picture of Alison and Liz explains itself: we are battling the rain on a daily basis.
