Mayan Families

Today was another one of those spontaneous days where you don't really know what you're gonna do when you wake up. I called up to Jay (the guy I was supposed to go with to the clinic today) but he was in Antigua with his inlaws and wasnt gettin back until this afternoon. So, after finding out I didnt actually have to be anywhere at all today, I went back to sleep for another hour and a half. Then I got up for real and went to work with Mayan Families instead.

Spent most of the day translating letters. Pretty standard stuff. Headed back to the apartment around 4 and was lazy for the rest of the afternoon. Now I'm up at Solomans Porch messing around on my computer (because there is food and wifi here too).

Im kind of contemplating leaving to go somewhere this weekend. Somewhere with a movie theater showing first run american movies, like the new transformers. Unfortunately that place most likely doesnt exist. Now im going to go interwebz searching for it...

Interesting Cultural Observation of the Week: Most of the paintings that are done here are not portraits. Instead most show the back of the head (usually a woman with braids or a man working) or they are very cartoonish faces and not done very well.
