Catching Up.

How do I even begin to chronicle my adventures to you?

If I start writing now, I'll run out of battery before I finish. So how about I just outline a couple of the amazing things I experienced/learned/feel like sharing? I made up my mind before you could answer, anyways.

1. I LOVE my daddy. He is incredible, a beastly driver, a noble human being, and...the best daddy in the whole wide world.
2. I am the person who is most likely to find relatives at any point in time in my life.
3. Guatemala is freaking amazing.(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
4. Guatemala is full of absolutely adorable, amazing old people.
5. Guatemala is full of the sketchiest roads you've ever driven on.
6. If you go to Guatemala, don't go to Tecojate.
7. If you go to Guatemala DO go to Tiquisate where the sand is black and the coconuts are to die for.
8. Pay for tour guides. Tour guides make everything better.
9. My life/family is full of eccentric, different, and incredibly talented individuals.
10. The best places to eat are usually little huts on the side of the road.
11. Guatemala can make you forget what feeling cold is like.
12. I am really confused; 40% of Guatemala thinks I am the spitting image of my father, another 40% side with mom, 10% think I'm my grandmother.
13. When in a market place, EVERYTHING is on sale. And even after 30 minutes of haggling, you will probably still get tricked by the vendor.
14. When in Guatemala, go to a church and get infected by their fervor.
15. The Mayans were absolutely brilliant.
16. The Mayans were also very petty.
17. It is impossible to go to Guatemala and NOT fall in love with a child.
18. Aryam is the best, funniest, smartest sister in the whole wide world. You wish you had games/secret handshakes like us. (No punch back).
19. Even my dead family members are interesting.
20. There is nothing quite like pineapples from Rio Dulce.
21. Antigua, Guatemala is magical.
22. Everyone should find out his/her Nawal from a Mayan Shaman.
23. Cafe herbido is the way to go.
24. Coffee is even good when it's boiling hot outside.
25. More people should invest some service time in Guatemala.
26. There are some crazy-beautiful, selfless individuals in Guate.
27. In the United States, we are spoiled.
28. Marimba is beautiful.
29. I came back speaking very Guatemalan Spanish.
30. I am tall Guatemalan.

31. I can't wait to go back.
