Hola! It has been so many days since we have updated this blog. We set aside time Sunday afternoon but when we returned from our weekend trip the city of Xela was completely out of power! It is common for the city to lose power from heavy rain. Over the weekend we went to IRTRA (similar to Disney World) and we visited some Mayan Ruins. It was amazing! There were wild peacocks everywhere! Yesterday we visited Fuentes Georginas which are hot springs in the cloud forest here. Today we volunteered at a local high school. The students were working on forms of "to be" (I am , she is, we are). It was fun to help them with their work.
