Past 5 days and the next 8 or 9

so last written thing i said was in Xela and about the volcano...i stayed in Xela until Friday and then went with an australian girl i met to the lake (lago de atitlan) it took all day and we arrived at a small village pueblo called san pedro la laguna it was rad..i stayed there for a few days..very hippie lotsa gringos and funny guatemalans. the lake is beautiful despite all the fucking trash in it and yeah we partied a little and i made a friend with this guy from new york, mike. so yeah after lara and i parted ways i headed for antigua yesterday. it took most of the day and i got in and decided to talk to a director of a spanish school. now instead of just staying in a hostel for a couple nights i have paid and committed to a 9 day stint in antigua learning spanish and living with a guatemalan family. its nice they are nice the food is good and i get three meals a day included with my 4.5 hours of spanish a day. i am here till the 30th giving me only 2 weeks to get to costa rica! so im gonna drive right through el salvador and honduras into nicaragua. probably spend 3 days to a week there in managua and grenada and then get to costa rica with only a week left to spare...not really my intention but whatever my spanish will be way better. so anyhow thats an update. oh yeah i live with three other students two swiss german peeps a couple and another australian girl. they are nice and quirky. right now i am in a cool hippie/hipster/gringo cafe with free wi-fi. so yeah we dont have internet and my updates will not be as frequent. for now, i have to practice my spanish and memorize some new vocabulary.
