I made it!

Greetings from Guatemala!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I arrived in Guatemala City last night ... safe and sound and slightly exhausted. Due to a three-hour delay in Miami I didn´t arrive here until after 9 pm. Thankfully, my friends were patient (definitely a Guatemalan virtue) and were still waiting for me at the airport.

I spent last night at the home of a coworker, Javier, who is offering me lodging until I can find a place of my own.

I ate breakfast (fried eggs, hash browns, bacon and iced tea) this morning at my long-time favorite hangout, the Europa. Judy, the owner, screamed when she saw me (a scream of happiness, not fear... at least so I think) and then handed me my mail ... some of which was three years old.

Right now I´m at the office, using Quique´s computer to send you all hugs and hellos.

As soon as I´m done, I´m off to check out possible apartments. Wish me luck!

I miss you all already.

Love,
me
