Bienvenidos a Guatemala!

Im here and the keyboard is already screwing with me. It took me 5 minutes to figure out how to put the ´at` symbol to log into this blog...and now I struggle making caps cause there is the < key where the shift key should be! Im sitting in the atrium of the Hosteles Las Volcanes in Guatemala City...its raining but i love it. im not capitalizing anything anymore. slows my roll. ha. i am also drinking the bud light of guatemalan beers, gallo, or rooster i believe that means. i need my dictionary strapped to me, nahhhhh. the trip down here was successful though mexico city was a mess. we had a 3 hour layover and got to our gate with 15 minutes to spare because the airport was confusing as hell and one lady who worked there didnt even know the airline taca existed. so that was nice. when we checked in in houston it was funny to see that most of the people were half my height. then off to guatemala we went. i had a middle row so i couldnt see much but what i did see was awesome. you could see mountains covered in lush green with low lying clouds going in and out of them. guatemala city seemed pretty hilly too. the hostel is close to the airport so we didnt see much of the place. its a cute little hostel, i have nothing to compare it to but the people are friendly, theres lots of light, and this here computer with internet. and they sell beer at checkin for 16q. the rest of the clan, or most of them are upstairs in our 7 bed room, probably staring awkwardly at eachother. smart people are awkward. they probably think jill and i are crazy already cause we already bought a beer and have been talking like crazy. whatever, someone has to talk right (cant figure out how to put a question mark). so we stay here tonight and get picked up in the morning to go to xela. ive alread tried speaking a little spanish, basic things like hi, thank you, rain...jill is a little timid at trying. its funny. im like jill, you have to try. kinda strange when we got to guatemala city airport we went outside and no one was there waiting for us...we were expecting a sign for the hostel but nothing. so i look over and see a midget coming towards me on a skateboard and i smile and look away, then he says, miss, and holds up 5 pens for me to buy, so i smile and shake my head no. then 2 kids come by and ask me if were going to hosteles las volcanes and we say yes and all teh sudden the midget puts his pens away and pretend he works for the hostel too, asking us for their phone number...were like, uh no well wait for the dude with the sign. sketch. kinda funny though too. people kept giving the midget money too, but wouldnt take the pens...who knows. then we found out we were on the wrong level and the guy with the sign had been waiting for us forever upstairs...lo ciento muchacho! anyway, thats all for now, i should get back to the staring contest with the other members and relieve jill of doing the duty. haha. till next time...i love you all and im here safe.
