Bienvenidos a Guatemala

In the airport
 We arrived to Guatemala City via Miami on Monday morning. We were picked up by a taxi at the airport. Then we took a a 4-hour bus ride to Xela. We were greeted at the bus station by someone from our school who then brought us "home."
In front of our school
 We are living with a family that lives 5 minutes away from the school. There is a mom, dad, and three children. The parents make and sell bread. The children are 9, 20, and 23. Everyone is very nice. The food is delicious.
David studying Spanish in the garden
We are studying Spanish for five hours every morning from 8am until 1pm. We each have our own instructor. David learns from Carmen. Krista learns from Claudia. We have snack at 11am. Each day there is different food. We are learning lots of Spanish. Soon we may begin blogging in Spanish!

These are simple sentences. This is how we think in Spanish.
