Guat's up?

  We've all been in Antigua now for almost a week and it has been lovely. We've each been assigned individual spanish tutors and they are the best! My maestro treats me like her daughter and we even get to study in cafe's sometimes. We've also made it a habit to study at a different coffee shop almost every day to do our homework. :)
   So far we've spent our time exploring the city, shopping (duh) and hanging out as a team. We finally got to go the Cerra de la Cruz this past week. I have been wanting to go for so long! You basically climb stairs all the way to the top of the hill and get an awesome view of Antigua and the Volcan de Agua if you're lucky.
  We also got to tour the coffee plantation this past week which was awesome to see how it was made.... and at the end of tour we got free coffee. yum. 
   This weekend we are going to Semuc Champey. It's a jungley place about 7-8 hours in the mountains of Guatemala. I've heard it's a ton of fun from other students in the past so our group is really looking forward to it. 
   Grace and Peace
