Trip to Hiper pais

---

OK, I've been a bad blogger and not kept up with my updates. So, I'm going to do a few posts to keep everything organized.

First, my trip to Hiper Pais. I did this like a week ago. I walked with one of the other students staying with the same family as I. It was clear on the other side of town. it took us about an hour to get there.

What is Hiper Pais? Well, it is a gigantic American style shopping center. The walk took us through some interesting parts of Xela I hadn't seen before. The mall itself was full of stores, just like an American mall. I bought an Agatha Christie novel to practice my Spanish, but that is all. Not much else to say about that...

Oh! we encountered something called the Minerva Temple in the middle of the city. it is an old, crumbling Greek looking structure. We couldn't find much information on it, and nobody seemed to do anything with it...but it was interesting nevertheless.
