Spanish in Guetamala

I have just started my second week of Spanish classes at Celas Maya....They are very good at teaching spanish and am meeting lots of cool people from all over the world who are fun to hang out with, so thats definitely a big plus...Especially since I have spent most of my time with adults working hard and not with people my age.. But that time is just as good, just a little different now.. My Spanish is getting a little better but I have some horrible habits which I cannot break because my spanish was from the local people in the mnts. who I have been working with....

This weekend me and 5 others went to the most gorgeous volcanic lake known to man...Atleast to me!!! Its a crater lake that is big and surrounded by mtns. and volcanoes on all sides and is like a piece of heaven. Pieces of corn land mixed with forest and coffee farms..

We went on an awesome horse back trip into the countryside where the excellant coffee is grown and the locals still speak there language and also where there beautiful indigenous clothing is still worn.....The horse back tour was the highlight of the weekend...It was great because we got to gallop in the flats and walk in the mountainous area and the views were incredible with an amazing sunset casting shadows of light upon the mtns and water in different places which made everything come alive.. It was a photographers dream but for me its only in my head, so youll just have to go and see it yourself.
Lake Atitlan is a must for anyone visiting Guetamala.....

This is a fascinating place with wonderful locals and lots of travelers volunteering, studying, talking politics, visiting lots of natural wonders and much more.
This country contains bountiful human resources and also great natural resources in their land. The people are absolutely wonderful here and everyone has been great to me.
