How are you?
I arrived Antigua 27th Feb.
I spent a week filled with a lot of adventures in Palenque, Flores, Lankin
and Semook Champey.
I could meet many kind people and it was a very special experience to me.
I will write about it later.

My original plan was to study Spanish in Antigua.
So i went out looking for an institution and i thought i found one.
Then i decided to visit some places near Antigua before i register.

But as soon as i arrived at San Pedro, I had to change my plan.
i was caught by San Pedro.
Now I want to stay in San Pedro more than a week and want to study Spanish here.
Antigua is very crowded with people and too comercial.
But San Pedro, a small village by the lake Atitlan, is quiet....
people are friendly and price is low.
The tuition for the Spanish lesson is half price of Antigua.

Moreover, i can have more chance to communicate with the villagers and
i can do the voluteering job if I want. So I decided to stay here.
i´ll stay in Hostel until Sunday and will move to a guatemalan family.
i´ll do my volunteer job for three hours(helping disable kids) in the morning
and take a 3hour -spanish class in the afternoon.
And there will be other extra activies in the evening(sala class etc.).
i´m afraid that i can´t leave here....

i´ll write you again.. maybe next week.
