WARNING...

This blog is very straight forward.
I'm not trying to sugar coat my feelings in Guatemala.
It may seem crass at points. Deal with it or don't read it.

Gracias!

Day 5 Continued...


If you’ve been reading my blog you know I live with a girl who is a 3rd year medical student.  Sometimes she says things that make me really mad.  I asked her if I should wear a white coat to the medical clinic.  She was mad that I had a white coat.  She said “No me gusta.”  Which means she doesn’t like it.  OK MISS I didn’t choose to be given a white coat as a pre-med! GOOOODness. 
Tonight is her last night here.

So we eat dinner together at the house, then the four of us (me, Colorado med student lady, and Canadian son/father combo) go out downtown like every night. 

BUT … tonight is a celebration!  Because it’s the end of the world as we know it, it’s the end of the world as we know it! (this is a song)

The downtown area is FULL of people, music, food, laughter, fun, celebration, ceremonial dances, you name it – its there!

Eventually I find my friend from Minnesota.  I meet her friends, and love them!  Someone from Montana, someone from Canada, someone from Minnesota, and one guy from Guatemala. 

Then – they begin.  The fireworks.

THEY ARE SO INSANE.

I almost got hit in the face by one.

In America, fireworks this close to the ground would NEVER be legal. Holy cow.

The three of us “gringas” duck when a huge one goes off.

ALL the Guatemalans around us point and laugh.

One even takes a picture of us “hitting the deck”  …not even lying.

Then he asks to take a picture with us!

CRAY.

At 1:30am I walk home with Montana boy.  From this point forward, I will refer to him as “Montana Gentleman” because it was so sweet of him to walk me to my door so I didn’t get stolen.

GRACIAS Montana Gentlemen! Me gustaJ

Slept so well.

Oh, until more fireworks and roosters at 6AM!

SERIOUSLY?
