greetings to all the posee out there.... hopefully everyone ejoyed their valentine´s day... it was impissible not to be touched by cupid here... yes because of the incredible scenery... yes because i spent it with amanda... but also because the guatemalans have an infatuation with cheesy and i mean CHEESY 80´s music... since i´ve been in the internet lab I´ve heard milli vanilli, phil collins, and a ton of wham and george micheals.... after nearly puking on my slef, i feel very sentimental!
I can gladly say that i amj back on my feet again, and have learned one thing from my ordeal with what i call malaria of the underpants the past few days... wherever and whenever you are in this country, always have TP... they don´t have it anywhere... and toiletr seats are a luxury i will fully enjoy upon our return to canada...
Well the last few days have been intersting to say the least... this project has been a real eye opener in more ways than one... the scenery, the people , what i will always rememebr is the smile on kids faces when you are helping them... there must be some canadian in these
people because they are all so kind and polite...
speaking of which, i have been representing the canadian spirit as proudly as i can ... maple leafs everywhere... back packs, hats, shirts... i have made it my mission not shave or cut my hair the whloe time here... ther hair thing i think i will stick too... the shaving thing... well can´t see it lasting though i am happy to say i no longer look like teenwolf after 5 days of not shaving...
We visited a glassmaking factory yesterday... thoyught we might see milhouse´s dad down there ( oh wait...he´s a big wheel at the cracker factory...), but we followed that up with an amaizng excursion up the mountains (they are everywhere here), and ended up at les fuentes... which translates into volcanic heated natural springs... amaizing
like sitting in a hottub for hours...surrounded by mountains and jungle... not a bad way to spend valentines day... one year ago at this time i was skating the rideau canal... quite the difference... but amanda and i had a great time then and we are having a great time together now...
we leave for antigua tomorrow morning and none too soon... neither amanda or i are big fans of this city, though the surroundidn area is quite beaitiful... we will then make antigua our home for about 6 weeks and then on to peru... hoping to have some pics up in the next few dyas so please bear with us... i am not what you would call a technolgical wizard... shocking i know! anyways we miss you all... keep in touch... we love the responses , even the sarcastic ones!
jeff and amanda
