It seems strange to me as I sit here at the compound in Prescott to think that we will again be in Guatemala in under two weeks. As I awakened this morning, I checked the thermometer and found that it was 19 degrees F. That will all be fading history once we have arrived in La Antigua in the Land of Eternal Spring.
I have made some last-minute purchases for our friends and landlords the Philippis in Antigua. We will be met by Paul who will make the thirty-mile drive to La Aurora airport in Guatemala City. Then back to the beautiful Philippi compound where we will be staying for the next three months.
John hopes to begin his studies again this time but I will most likely not take any formal studies. Instead, I hope to converse with locals and carry on with my Rosetta Stone modules. Most of what I am reviewing in the on-line course I have already learned but it reinforces and encourages me to launch out into areas that I rarely use. I have already the first three levels and intend to add the next two before it is all said and done.
During the months that we plan to be in Guatemala, we hope to take a road trip with our landlords throughout the Central American countries which may culminate at the Canal Zone, Panama. Another possibility would be for us to drive over to Belize (former British Honduras). On the way to that country, it is possible that we might tarry a while at the expansive ruins of Tikal. Though we have been to Tikal before, its appeal does not quickly or easily fade.
