Back from the Forest

Hey all,

I know that the blog's been a bit all over the place, and I'm doing my best to keep it logical and readable, but Internet access is now limited.

We've just returned from 4 nights in the Guatemalan cloud forest and had a great time. I will be writing about it for the next couple days, but I think you'll have to wait until Wednesday next week until I post again. Roughly, our schedule is: Sat morning to Wed mid-day in the forest, Wednesday mid-day until Sat morning with our home stay families (read about mine below!). Because I don't have my comp with me in the forest, the writing and posting is going to get a bit delayed, but Robyn and I will make an effort to post every Wednesday around this time (4-6pm EST). I will say that Robyn seems like she's meant to live in the forest (is that a god thing?).

I have dumped three new posts below, so enjoy. A word of caution - I will have to limit the number of pics that I can include for two reasons: one is that the Internet connection is slow and uploading takes a long time and the second is that I am hesitant to brandish my camera around San Marcos because it is a luxury item and I don't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself. Don't worry though - Robyn and I have felt nothing but warmth and welcome from everyone here.

Until next week. I'll keep writing and taking pics and hopefully I'll share as much as I can as often as I can.

Thanks for reading.
