!Hola Antigua!

A very quick update, to prove I am alive and well in Antigua.

Arrived Wednesday without incident and found myself in a dorm room with the most fabulous fellow travelers. Chris and Lilly are Welsh, and are now on their way to Nicaragua, but I will be meeting up with them in Buenos Aires at the end of May. Andrea is from Baltimore and is traveling for 5 weeks in Guatemala, taking classes and traveling around. I made them be my friends, it´s nice being a friendly Californian who gets people drunk. =)

I also found a language school and move in with my family in about 30 minutes. Can´t wait to meet them, and despite the normal nerves of living in a strangers home, i´m looking forward to settling here for 3 weeks.

After that, I may head to Xela (shay-la) where I hear the language classes are great. May also travel with my big bad bro, who is now considering coming mid-May.

People are incredibly friendly, and I´m just taking it a day at a time!

Incidentally, we stumbled into a bar last night owned by a guy from Boston. NESN and Red Sox on the TV...i felt right at home, and they show every game there. Kate if that was any reason for you to come sooner...

Thanks to everyone for your messages!

Love to all,
Sam
