    "I pray every single second of my life; not on my knees but with my work. My prayer is to lift women to equality with men. Work and worship are one with me. I know there is no God of the universe made happy by my getting down on my knees and calling him 'great.'" -Susan B. Anthony

    Nightime in Xela

    Neil and I have spent a lovely week in Xela, Guatemala. It`s in the North West-ish corner of the country. It’s a good 6 hour bumpy, dangerous (due to driving customs) trip. Thus, not as many touristas make it up here. Therefore, we like it a lot more than the more touristy parts. No nappy-dreaded drunkards giving us whities a bad rap.

    It´s a really pretty city that looks pretty European in the central part. We have been taking classes at the Kie-Baalam Spanish school. We each have had our own private tutors for a week. It`s been a lot of studying, 5 hours a day, but it`s been really good to get back into the grammar etc. Neil has already picked up present and preterit tenses.

    Si no fuese blanco, seria latino!
