Stay Tuned for the Rest of the Story and photos.

Our Internet during the last six weeks was disappointingly slow and cumbersome. We could send emails and did do a couple of postings while in Xela however, not being able to send pictures soon had us not wanting to put forth the effort to get that done. While in Xela we were "Living" and not doing so much traveling around.

We hiked on foot to wherever we needed to go. The market was just a 1/2 block away for our fresh produce. This kind of stuff was a daily thing we did as we "lived" in Xela and we didn't feel like those following the blogs wanted a daily accounting of getting up, eating breakfast, hiking to the big mall, shopping in the market, etc., etc. It was just normal daily living.

 Part of the reason for being in Xela was to see if  would prefer to live in Xela or Antigua. The cost of living is much lower than it is in the USA. I think it is a crying shame that we cannot afford to live in our own country because we keep trying to 'keep up with the Joneses' and hiking the cost of everything from food to housing in the USA. I hope we are beginning to 'smell the roses' here and are beginning to bring things back into a more practical way of life making it affordable for everyone in the USA.

At any rate we still have a couple of stories to share so stay tuned for me as we get rested and we should be able to get photos up for you to enjoy. Guatemala is a very colorful and cool place to live or visit.
