Monday, 2pm

Ah, now that's more like it!

The office, post-lunch, is a much more peaceful place. Everyone works at a much more tranquil pace.

In fact, if you were to catch any of us napping, it would be right around this time of day.

We just returned from eating at our usual hangout... El Diamante, a very Guatemalan restaurant just about two blocks from here. There are usually 8-10 options to choose from, and since lunch is the big meal of the day here, the servings are very filling!

Today I ordered the "pollo quixón", chicken in tasty, semi-spicy brown sauce. It came with carambola fruit juice, vegetable soup, a small salad, rice, beans, potatoes, and tortillas. All for Q15, or less than $2.

I should also mention that it was quite delicious!

Sounds good and cheap. We need places like that around here. Your day is already half over. Does it go that quick everyday? If you do accidently take a nap, have one of your co-workers take your picture. he he
How much coffee do you drink a day since you get up at 5:30? Looking forward to more updates!
