HOLA GUATEMALA....keep answering those phones even during take-off! 


The steal bird has landed and the only thing that went wrong was that my wheel managed to get ripped off my brand new suitcase.  You know every once and a while I am reminded of the benefits of being small. Sitting in an airplane is one of those moments. Whilst others are twisting and cramming their legs to get comfortable I contemplate how to make best use of all the leg room available to me.  However, the male passenger next to me decided that he'd make himself at home and took of his shoes. Weww, ehm need I say that Gringo Stinky-Feet successfully tortured my sense of smell? Now to the funny part. Okay, for those who have not been or lived in Guatemala you must know that Guatemalans answer their cellphones regardless of where they are: church, conference, birth, and WHEN THE PLANE IS TAKING OFF. The funniest thing is that the flight crew asked everyone to turn-off there phones but the stewards were kept quite busy telling everyone to hang-up their phones since we were about to rocket into the sky. Well, just as we were about to take off..'ring ring ring'....and of course the guy answers the phone...lol. All one could do was laugh :). We will be in Antigua through Sunday when we will venture to our work site, San Sebastian Coatan, via Quezaltenango.
