Hello everyone. Had a busy few weeks and havent seemed to manage to find the time to write on here... sorry Uncle Keith. Ive been working at the school alot and now that I have my own class I have to do everything for them. Im really enjoying working with the kids but then again they are little shits. Thankfully so far I have managed to keep my temper with them, and hopefully wont lose it in the near future! But for 99% of the time its really good. On the weekend I went up to the largest market in Central America, its called Chichichastenango or something like that. It was an amazing market and it was huge. I had to haggle but I was really bad at it, and cant help but think that I could have gotten things for alot cheaper. I bought a bag but accidently said the number wrong in spanish so I think that I made that womans day. I had to pay 30 more quetzals than she originally asked for!
This weekend I am going to climb Acatenango volcano which is the third highest volcano in Guatemala.. cant really figure out if i am looking forward to it yet or not! But I suppose that it will be good training for my bike challenge in a few weeks time. Speaking of a bike challenge if anyone would like to sponser me, I would be eternally grateful. Im cycling 205km in 5 days from Antigua Guatemala to Copan Honduras. All of the information is here:
I will update after the weekend and let you know if I am still alive after acatenango.
P.s Dad I sent you an email on skype, but I dont know if you got it... Let me know what you are doing for your birthday so that hopefully I can speak to you xx
'little shits' indeed!!!!
ReplyDeletewhy, they taking the mick out of your chinese accent?!!!
hahaha ;)
look after yourself. much love xxxxxxxxxxxx
Judging from the immense physical exertion this bike ride would presumably take on the human body and the lack of updates, I conclude that Sophie may have died on this trip.
ReplyDeleteThis, of course, is an amateur assumption resulting from boredom and being a sad child. But hey. :P
