Hey folks -
Here I am, winding down at home - my last night in my apartment for 2007. Today was the last day of school until January 7th. Yahooo!! If I had to hear one more child whine about the flavor candy cane they got this afternoon, I may have had a nervous breakdown.
I'm stoked for my big trip tomorrow. Kinda nervous - the whole inability to speak the language - the fear of cold showers and sleeping on who knows what - but other than that, I'm excited. I'm actually staying with the same family that my friend Holly stayed with a few years back when she went to this same school. And speaking of my school, here is the link for those of you who may be curious - http://www.celasmaya.edu.gt/ It is in Quetzaltenango - otherwise known as Xela (pronounced "Shayla").
I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and post some (what I hope will be) interesting anecdotes for you all. I take off at 10:55 tomorrow night from LAX and arrive early Sunday morning in Guatemala City before my 4 hour bus ride to Xela.
Be sure to bookmark my blog and check back regularly for updates! And leave me comments!
I hope you all have a great weekend and are enjoying your holiday season!
Off to sushi now - (don't think I'll get much of that in Guatemala)
Peace and Love!
Kim : )

Kim!!! You go girl! I can't wait to read your blogs and relive my own amazing visit to Guatemala, through you. Say hello to Liz and her daughter for me. Also, please give Ronnoldo a hug for me. He is a teacher at Celas Maya and also works in the internet cafe. Everyone knows him and he's a great friend to have. Keep in touch. Have fun!

Hola Kim,
Hope you are having a great time - looks like you are - going horseback riding and the view looked beautiful and I can see you have already made friends - no big surprise. Can't wait to hear all about it and see tons of pictures.
Adios!
Love,
Momma
