If you didn't know... that means welcome. Maggie and I are only speaking spanish to each other and therefore we haven't spoken very much thus far. Just kidding.
We can't wait to share the adventures! This could be one of many blogs or one of one ... we'll just have to see. We are currently living with the sweetest Guatemalan family at their bed and breakfast where they have extended every effort to make us a part of the family. We have tortillas and beans morning and night and they have quickly become a staple of our new diet. There have been a few culture shocks so far but no worries there is Kraft macaroni and cheese at the Walmart down the road. Men with 12 gauge shotguns (don't ask how Miten knows that) are at the doors of almost every establishment including Wendy's. Toilet paper can seldom be flushed down the toilet. Although it is maybe widely known Guatemala is definitely a machismo culture so I have started waiting hand and foot on Miten. That's a lie, but he still wishes. All in all it's been a great adjustment and we have been having a blast. Stay tuned.
