Travel

finishing up time in antigua, guatamala with some touristy picture days capturing some of the city

been here a month in 1/1 spanish classes 4 hours a day, staying with a wonderful family (that also only speaks spanish), and eating homemade, tipico guatemalteco food

the coffee here is completely world class, the economy is doing well enough that the beans from local farms can actually stay and be roasted in the city (as well as being shipped world wide) so you get some of the freshest, highest quality coffee in the world at any of the local cafes

my favorite of that was a gesha grown on the slopes of the volcan de fuego which had the most fruity complexity of any gesha I've tried

Best full dish was pepián! it's a mayan-rooted stew that's really rich and earthy. It's usually made with some kind of meat but my homestay fam is all veggie and it was still delicious (though I bet when it's cooked with meat fats it's extra rich)

But in general all the fruits and veggies here are incredible so I've gotten tons of fresh fruit salads every morning alongside locally grown coffee and corn tortillas topped with queso, beans, and avocado

through the school! it's a nice option- you can choose to stay with a local family while taking classes and they do 3 meals a day 6 days a week. they work on your preferences beforehand so i ended up with a vegetarian family and fast wifi 😂 its been me this 66 year old lady all month and one of her kids just got back from backpacking around europe the other week

wait i love this!!! manifesting this for myself one day. how did you find the family?!

yes! 100% it's so stunning, all the food is amazingly fresh, and when it's great it's really great. it's been unsafe a couple times this trip though and I really understand not being able to do it

also for me im SO accustom to cooler climates and even after a month i'm still sweating constantly

If it was safer, I would live there half the year. I got super serious about it in 2010 and then things just got weird and I didn’t feel like I could realistically do it. It’s such a beautiful city and such a vibe. I feel in love with the architecture, the color, the food, and the people.
