Adios San Cristobal


We are leaving our beautiful casa in San Cristobal at this very moment to head to beautiful Lagos de Montebello and then to Quezaltenango (aka Xela, as the indigenous people call it), Guatemala. We will arrive in Xela by Thursday and will enroll in one-on-one intensive Spanish language school for five hours per day beginning in exactly one week. We also hope to live with a Guatemalan family in order to fully immerse ourselves in the language. We are planning to be there for about a month so make your travel plans now to come and see us.
Love,
Mark & Michelle

  3. Greetings from Redding! All is bueno here, although hot. 100 today (May 27). Played golf after work and now I'm supposed to be working on a freelance story about the local Latin band Majical.

    Have fun in Guatemala. Safe travels & don't take any wooden pesos.

    Cheers,
    Your pal Lou
