Hola---Happy end of September! This has been the longest month with the longest weeks and days of my life. I thought time flew by as you got older?
Well to pass the time I have been taking little trips, to the Hiper Paiz (a walmart spinoff) and La Pradera (a giant shopping mall, complete with Taco Bell and Sbarros).
I also went to one cultural spot, Panajachel. It�s about 3 hours by car. The view from the car. 
I went with some friends, actually my backyard neighbors. 
We did a little hiking at Reserva Natural Atitlan.
Saw some monkeys, just for you mom.
Saw a waterfall.
Saw many volcanoes surrounding a giant and beautiful lake.
We even went out a little, well a lot.
The people were very friendly, even the ex-patriats. There were a lot of hippies and locals selling jewelry, clothing, rugs, quilts, pottery, everything.
Expect many of the above for Christmas.
Love you all and miss you terribly.
Lara
