Hi Michele,

If immersion at home doesn’t do the job, what will? 🙂
But I guess it got you to the intermediate level, which I greatly admire!

Unfortunately, I don’t have any Guatemalen relatives to help me keep my Spanish up to speed. I could definitely use a school experience like this. I have a very strange Spanish vocabulary. I spoke Spanish pretty much daily during my years as a Social Security disability lawyer, so I’m really good with parts of the body and diseases — not what most people want to talk about.

Hi Michelle – how great to run into you via your blog. I loved this – both impressionistic and practical, along with the fact that I'm interested in the Central American countries myself, and you have Antigua more on my own radar now.

I think one key thing here that your account of travel into Guatemala makes from a travel writing or blogging standpoint is, if you're fortunate enough to have a connection to a place then – use it to the maximum advantage in getting the good story.
