Guatemala 2008: Rio Dulce and Livingston

The tickets to fly back were cheaper a week later than when the program was done. So we decided to stay and travel some-- granted we spent more money traveling than what we would have with the more expensive ticket, it was worth it. We went to Rio Dulce and to Livingston which are near and on the Caribbean. It was a lot of boats and water. The one photo is of where we stayed and the other is of me jumping with two friends that I made, but one (the dog) didn't jump. It was fun to relax before going to the US.

Guatemala 2008: Saying Goodbye

When finishing up my student teaching I had to do the hard task of saying goodbye. That doesn't work to well for one who travels a lot, like me. There were many despedidas or going away parties. It was fun, but very sad. The pictures are of my and my host mom at a restaurant and of some of the high school volleyball girls.

Guatemala 2008: Field Trips

One of the awesome parts of teaching Spanish in Guatemala was the easy access to great field trips. With my middle school beginning class we went to the bread store that was next door to the school and to a grocery store. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of either of those. With a smaller high school class we were able to go Antigua. It was fun and a lot of Spanish.
