Despite (or because of) all my lack of planning, it is Christmas Eve and I am still in Gautemala. And when i mentioned (twice) that I left Xela, I lied.
I did leave Xela but then I came back...again and again. I can´t seem to shake this town. Most of those I know are gone now, so maybe it is time to head out myself.
As it is Christmas Eve, I will spend Christmas around Xela. There is a chance that i will spend it with a family from the school (the owner - Sary, Her mom - My teacher, and her 2 borthers - also teachers at the school).
Although their Christmas is a family affair, I may get an invite since i am in town. If I get an invite, it will be beause the ¨china¨ is also getting invited.
the `china` is a woman from Korea who has been in Xela for 3 or so months now. In Guate, anyone who looks asian - including non-asians, is called ¨china¨or ¨chino¨ (translation: Chinese) depending on whether they are female or male.
If they invite one outsider, they may invite a second.
We will see.
After Christmas, i think I will be off to El Salvador. I will hit the beaches there and continue to work my way south.
I had hoped to make it to Brazil in the the near future (to activate my visa before January 10) but that will not happen.
I will keep you advised of my movements.
Merry Christmas to all.
