Still Guate-in it up!

Hey Friends!

I'm still here is Guatemala. I'm learning a bit of Spanish every day and having lots of adventures. Today I went with my small group to a small village where a group of women have started to cooperative to raise money to send their children to school. They showed us how to make coffee (all the way from the plant to the coffee grinds), how to weave and how to make tortillas. It was definately a cool experiece. I supported them by buying some handy crafts. One of the highlights of that trip was standing up in the back of a pickup truck the whole way there.

Next week we are moving to a hot hot hot and dry area of Guate and we are building Habitat Houses for 2 weeks. should be good!

I've put alot of work into posting pictures on our site's blog so you should check that out.

I'm coming back to Victoria mid April so I'll see lots of you in no time at all. hope all is well :)

God bless.

Off on another adventure!

Well my friends, I had a lovely and restful Christmas. It was really great to be home for a while and I slept a whole lot (so if you're thinking "why the heck didn't I see her?" it's because I was trying to catch up on sleep and do the holiday season stuff all at once.....and I'll see you in the summer!). Now I'm back in Winnipeg doing a bit of staff prep stuff and I'm off to Guatemala with my students in 3 days. We're going to be there for 3 months and if you're wondering what we're doing then I suggest you watch the new video on the Outtatown website cause it shows what we are going to do better than I can explain it. http://www.outtatown.com/video/

I'm going to try my best at updating the blog but I know I'm going to be putting more work into our site's blog . . . cause that's my JOB! (but don't start hounding me about it cause I'm a very busy lady!) . Here's the student blog that has pictures and stories about our adventures in Guatemala. http://www.outtatown.com/photos/06site2/

I hope that whatever you do, whether it be school, work, or just hangin out, that you're doing better than totally awesome coolness.
