We left Stella`s on Monday morning to go back to Guatemala City.

Mom and the fam

 We had alot of fun with Stella and fam.  We did alot of the Semana Santa activities together.  This was very helpful because Stella had the lowdown on exactly what was happening and where.  Stella was very good about calling us and saying, “Brian, where are you, you need to come and see the blah blah blah procession, it`ll be passing in front of the house in about 5 – 10 mins!”  We would then run halfway across Antigua to get back to the house just in time to miss it.    It wasn`t a big deal though because we would then run a few blocks down the street and catch up with it.   

And just for kicks, here`s a pic of shaved Huesito with a bone that is almost as big as he is. A gift from Jaime for his birthday.

After eating breakfast at a restaurant in Antigua, I made my way to the bathroom.  At some point while I was in there (couldn`t have been more than 2 minutes)  my mother had a revelation.  When I came out, she told me that she had made up her mind and was going to begin learning Spanish.  She said that this would be very beneficial for her work, and also, since I`m never coming back to the US, it`ll be helpful for her to know it whenever she comes to visit.
