Noelle and Justin left town at 5:30am. They are headed to Houston where Noelle starts her final semester at Rice University. Justin is driving out there with her and then will leave for Guatemala tomorrow. He saves $700 on the trip by flying out of Houston rather than Albuquerque. Continental Airlines is ripping off New Mexicans with that fare structure I think. Justin will be staying for three months in Quesaltenangol where he will live with a family while taking an intensive immersion course in Spanish. When not in class he will do volunteer work. So every one is gone from the house and it is just me and the Beagles and Jerry the Cat. Bobbi will be back from DC a couple of times this month and hopefully she will transfer back to a new job here in a few months.

Knock, knock.. just visiting, and allow me to say: "Quetzaltenango is a beautiful place and Guatemala rocks!"
Of course, I am biased, as a Guatemalan living in Houston can't help but miss my homeland, and feel happy for those lucky as Justin himself who'll be enjoying "the land of eternal spring" as we proudly call our country.
Tell him that no visit will be complete without visiting Antigua (35 minutes from the airport), Solola (55 minutes from Quetzaltenango, going south), and Chichicastenango (another 40 minutes from Quetzaltenango, going north)
