Mitch in Guatemala

It was a long haul on the Tica Bus...16 hours total i believe and 3 border crossings. They did play 3 movies though: Lion, witch, and wardrobe (in english), King Kong and Princess diaries 2.
It was a two day journey and we spent one night in San Salvador at a crummy, expensive place. However, I am in Antigua, Guatemala now and will be here fo another week. It is a cute mountain town with Mayan people and keen travellers, mostly who are taking spanish lessons. I met up with Shane, the Australian from San Jaun del Sur, and we registered for a week of Spanish lessons at a good school. Very good deal, because we have accomodations, including 3 meals a day, 4 hours of one on one lessons plus materials all for $145 US for the week. The past few days we've been getting the partying out of our system because lessons while being hungover wouldn't be very productive.
So, other than sleeping, partying and wandering the cobble stone streets of Antigua and checking out all the cool churches and ruins, and the market (which like a city in itself), haven't done too much.
