The YAVs had our January retreat at Monterrico..aka the beach! It was super pretty even though it had black sand. And the hotel had air conditioning! The first air conditioning I have seen since being in the Guate.
This is us at the beach!
We ate tons of amazing food and then we got to release baby sea turtles!
This is me with my baby sea turtle. I look a little crazy because..well..it´s the Guate.
My turtle peed on me but I still loved him.
School started again, so it has been mass chaos! I am teaching English and Math and its certainly an adventure..I literally had a child hanging off my leg the other day. Im not sure what he was doing.
In other news, I went to my cousins house with my mom to see how they make traje. They only make corte, which is the skirts. I will steal a picture off Annie´s facebook to demonstrate the traje.
Annie is the tall white girl, obviously. Pictures don´t really do justice for traje, but I think it is absolutely beautiful.
Anyways, my cousins are making me my own corte! It´s going to be dark red and cream colored, but it´s not finished yet. While I am waiting for it to be finished, an amazingly nice lady at my church lent me her traje!
I look very awkward and slightly pregnant...but it´s the Guate.
I think that is about it..our February retreat is to Belice so I will definitely update you guys on that!
