Allowing Comfort and Not Hitting Walls

  So, if you havent heard I am now a car-owner in Guatemala. But last week as I was preparing to pick up the cruiser I pre-reflected on my life in Guate sans car. Even though I'll get a lot more done and be more comfortable and secure, I'll miss sitting around waiting for transportation and the activities and friends that are created while doing so. Such an opportunity was playing ball with the kids of Sabalpop in Patzun this past week.

 Donde acabe 9 acabe 11....Where 9 fit 11 also fit

 Celebrating Faby's bday at Cerro Santo Domingo!

 Beautiful sculptures and a view

 Oh and then I bought gas for the first time in Guate. Pretty sure the gas-dude thought we were crazy

 Erick making me feel better about how much it cost

 Then Earth Lodge

 Then a ballet!

Remembering 2010 Before It's 2012

I started out 2010 wearing a mustach and losing a favorite earring:



Then I drove through some blizzards, spun some records, and roller skated old-school style to Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind':

In some ways, these events helped me to prepare for my move to Guatemala on Janurary 28th-ish, 2010. Never in a million years could I have dreamed what life would have in store for me...


Learning lessons, asking questions...









Finding my inner electrician, mechanic, and mason...




Finding my inner acrobat, personal assistant, artist....


There were a few disapointments...



Yet still finding some of the 'bests' I've ever had in this small world of ours....

Best Ice Cream and Best Ice Cream Atmosphere:

Best person to eat ice cream with ever: 

These girls are pretty sweet too: 

One of my best purchases of 2010:

Except mine is navy blue....

I wanted to make this list longer by seem to never have time to think or update. So I'll end it there and try to make my blogs more constant this year...starting now, in Febuary.
