Very cool! I was just in Xela in June living with a family and studying at Kie-Balam. Had a blast. If you have a chance, go say hi to Marlo Mora. She's the director and seems to know everything about that Xela and Guate in general. Here's her number: 7761 1636. She studied in Chicago and speaks English. I was actually in your gated community (a shuttle stop). And boy do I ever remember those 'sidewalks'. How long will you be there? I had such an amazing time and want to go back next summer. We shall see. Anyway, you'll love Antigua and Lake Atitlan. Go horseback riding on that one hippie island if you can! Laguna I think. I'll be waiting for your the next issue... Besitos. -Dez
