San Pedro, Guatemala, 28/1-2007
Route: Guatemala - San Pedro
I started the day by studying spanish two hours before Ivo got out of bed. Then Ivo´s sister and her son Andres came over and made pancakes. It is a great start on the day with warm pancakes. I think this is a way of starting the day I will contiune with in Norway in the weekends. The pancakes is not as in Norway. They are more as the Norwegian "lapper".
It is my birthday today, and Ivo and his family had prepared a little party with a minata. This is a paper figure filled with sweets, which young children gets to their birthday. The minata is then beaten with a stick until it gets destroyed and the sweets drops out of the body of the minata.
The rumour about that a minata is around is soon spread in the neighbourhood and some of the children came over and showed us how to beat the sweets out of the poor minata.
Then it was cake and dinner, before I got on the bike and returned to San Pedro for another week with spanish and teaching the children matematics.
The trip back to San Pedro was nice. Little traffic and no road works. The day was also very clear so I got a good view of the nature.
I got to my new family just before it was dark. My new family consits of Estela (mother) and the three girls Clarita (8), Chusita (6) and Nasly (2). I had brought books for drawing, pencils and and some color penciles which was a success for ice breaking.
My bike is parked in Estelas garden. It was not easy to get the bike in there, but Estelas ex houseband helped me, and now the bike is safely parked here.
