ok... have just experienced my first wierd virus in latin america... puss oozing out of my eyes for 2 days, crazy amounts of dizzyness for 5 days, cold, cough, fever, shakes... wild

have been in San Pedro on Lago Atitlan for a week now at a language school, living with a Mayan homestay family, practicing my Spanish and Tsutu´xil. My teacher here has turned out to be a linguist and interculturalist like me, so we´ve had lots to talk about.

Next week Im volunteering with the school that Im at now that my cold has subsided. Am enjoying the down and family that I´m staying with.
