ok... so I have almost no time so edit this in your mind as I go. So
I am in an area called Las Flores in Mazatenango. it is very humid
and jungly here. I eat almost every meal in the Bishop's house. If
not I would hvae to hire a cook. but for now it isn't necesary. I
don't have a miad so Monday mornings are spent cleaning the house.
Next week I'll attash photos. I am lucky because the Bishop owns a
washing machine for our clothes. But the thing is that it doesn't
fill up fast enough so we hand fill the machine and have to wait the
15ish mintues to refill for the rinse part. and then we hang all our
clothes out on the line to dry. this week has been good because we
have had 6 straight days of sun!!
I have seen a lot of srazy things here. Like a couple of red-headed
latinas. Like legitly not dyed. also all the sewing machines that I
have seen here are the seriously old-school kind. that you have to
foot pedal. I think it is fasinating. Also most of the babies wear
cslothe diapers!! People her are super nise and live very humbly.
and people either look super old or super young for their age. not
very many in the middle.
Oh I lost one of my umbrellas on the "micro bus" just vans
that run like a trolley.
I am goin to send this now. I hope I have more time next week,,,}
Love Hna Pelaez
