guatemala has a reputation as a land of eternal spring, but there are two recognized seasons. summer is the dry season and winter the wet.

fortunately, the rainy season here is not bad. every day, bearing a storm passing thru, there is a good stretch of sunshine or at least a break in the rainfall.

the rainy season starts at the end of may and every summer there are two weeks of canicula (sp?), almost no rain and a bit more warmth.

my sister told me how hot it’s been in dc. i have two good friends visiting for two weeks, and they just happened to choose a time that feels like a spring break from dc. i met up with them at lake atitlan and they’re hanging in xela with me for a few days.

august will be a summer vacation for me. i’ve decided to come back to guatemala in september.

i’m still enjoying this time, learning spanish, doing yoga, working less. i now have a paid job working on a website (for a club in dc) and am doing some volunteer work (both computer stuff and dj-ing).

hope all is well and if anyone is looking for a house-sitter in august or has a guest room craving a warm body, please let me know. ;)
