I suppose, after my last post, it would be hard for Guatemala to get worse. If it did, I probably wouldn´t be posting! After arriving it Antigua, I spent a few days recovering my leg and exploring the city. I was hanging out with Babke, the dutch girl who I met in Lanquin and helped me with the doctor. We met Emma, and irish traveler, and the three of us were hanging out. Last weekend, Babke was going to the beach, and Emma and I decided to travel to Lago Atilan together. It was a mellow weekend, super beautiful and Muy tranquilo. Thanks to Emma loaning me her camera, I was able to take loads of pictures. You guys know what a shutterbug I am and being without my camera was making me twitch a bit.

This week, I decided to sign up for a spanish language course. I love traveling in Latin American, and my lack of Spanish is embarrassing. I’ve been taking 6 hours a day of one on one instruction. My brain hurts. But I´ve learned a good amount and am enjoying it. i want to continue studying it when I get home. Kim comes down on Saturday, and is bringing the good camera, and we´re going to travel round the state, so you can expect loads and loads of photos in a week or so.

Absolutely legendary. I’ve been fortunate to go to a lot of concerts over the years, especially in the 1990-2010 range. And there have always been a handful of shows that have stood above the others as memorable to me. Tonight David Byrne (Talking Heads) put

As part of our Asia Trip, we spent a few days in South Korea.

Our last week of our asia trip was spent in Japan.

We spent two weeks in Taiwan, and had a great time, was super fun to watch the girls navigate a new country, and to use the mandarin they have been studying for years now.

Even after 16 days in the Grand Canyon, Margot asked if there were any cool hikes we could do on our way home from Flagstaff. So we did a kind of really silly long way home extension and hiked Wire Pass Gulch in Grand Escalante

Scorpion story: After rigging our rafts the night before launching down the Canyon, we went to Marble Canyon Lodge for dinner. They have a gift shop, and Margot fell for a stuffed scorpion. She said ” I hope we see a scorpion!! “ Me: “Well,
