When I arrived in Antigua, I was surprised at how at peace I felt. It was almost surreal, though, since I have been planning this trip for more than a year. But now we are here, and it is beautiful, I am relaxed, and the boys seem to be enjoying themselves. Where else but in Antigua can you eat McDonald's in a garden that has a clear view of a volcano?
I am still searching for an apartment. Today happens to be a holiday (Army Day..perhaps like Memorial Day???)so people are not at the apartments for me to take a look....oh well, by tomorrow things should be open.
It is such a blessing to know that I am in no hurry to "do" things or "see" things....since I have several weeks here, we can take it easy. Yet I am anxious to begin working on my Spanish, since my time in France basically set me back to "hola"! So we begin instruction tomorrow at 2 pm.
It is also fun to see so many people from all over the world here. We met a family from Canada, ex-pats from Nashville, and our "realtor" is originally from Florida. What is the draw to Guatemala? I certainly do not know, but for me it is a draw, it is a pull for me to come back again and again. It keeps me wondering...what is God planning?
