Day 3

Hola Amigos!! Last night we took our Malaria medicine, and some of the side affects on me was laughing in my sleep, so I woke everyone up except for me! We woke up early this morning, went to our usual, La Panderia, we sat at the park and ate. We saw El Fuego "belch" while we were eating. We walked around the square, then caught a bus to Alzotea coffee plantation, and took a tour. We also took a tour of the Maya people's ways. We then went to lunch at "Galleta's" or "Cookie's" we sat down and watched the euro cup, Spain vs. France, Judson, you would have loved it! When Spain got the first goal, the whole restaurant erupted into chaos, people crowded in from the streets, waitress ran from behind the counter, screaming "GOAL" with wide eyes. We invented a game called "stuck, stuck, loose" instead of duck duck goose, because all the tuk-tuks get stuck in the cobble stove streets, we explain it when we get back... We took a tuk-tuk back to the hotel, and the driver complimented on my Spanish! There is a yappy dog, or as dad calls it, "El Perro Piqueno Peligroso!", that lives on the same alley as our hotel, and when we first went down the alley we had no idea, and it scared the living daylights out of us. Today when we were going back to the hotel, Tilghman was extremely hyper, and I was being cautious so the dog wouldn't hear us, I said to Tilghman and dad, "shhhhh, the dog will bark at us!", but Tilghman didn't listen, he jumped around going "Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, YAP!!", well, the dog heard us. "Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, YAP!!", it said, we all jumped, not expecting it, and ran to the hotel.

Lots of love, Alden!
