School Coordinator

So on my 3rd day of class the director asked me if I would be the international coordinator. Yeah, that´s right, I pretty much own the place. I told them I´d help them out this week while they look for a replacement since I can´t start my volunteer work until next week. So it´s only temporary, but it´s still pretty neet to be able to sign emails as the international coordinator.

Let´s see, besides that I´ve visited the museum of Mayan clothing, which was not so interesting. I learned how to make tortillas from scratch, and I went to my first Salsa Lesson which was alot of fun, but slightly embarrasing as Katie and I were the only ones who not only couldn´t salsa, but also didn´t speak Spanish all that well.

At the fair referenced in the last post, we watched a traditional Guatemalan dance, visited the church of the Black Christ, and went on the ferris wheel, which was forever old and scarier than any roller coaster I´ve ever been on. It didn´t occur to me until I got to the top that I hadn´t seen a single other person on the ferris wheel, I guess even the Guatemalans didn´t trust it.
