A Typical Day in Guatemala City

A typical weekday in Guatemala City:

7:00 - Breakfast
7:30 - Leave my house to go to the busstop
8:00 - Arrive at CASAS

4:30 - Go to busstop to head home (2 busses)
5:15 - Arrive at home
5:15 - Do homework
8:30 - Dinner (or whenever my host dad gets home, or I just eat by myself if he is really late)
9:00 - Homework, or watch TV with family
9:30 or 10:00 - Bed time!

This upcoming weekend will be my first full weekend with my family, who apparently does nothing on the weekend and enjoys staying home, watching TV, etc, so we'll see how that goes.

Another note, I'm still trying to upload pictures, however my USB device says "2.0 HiSpeed" which these computers apparently can't read, unfortunately I don't understand computer instructions in Spanish. I'll see if the internet cafe will work, but apparently other students are having difficulty uploading pictures. :( So I guess no promises.

So, I'm still having a great time, and still trying to absorb and appreciate what I have gotten myself into. Hope you all are doing well! Hasta luego!

Much love,
Rachel
