My new friend Chula

Yesterday I woke up at 5:30am and I snuggled with mommy and couldn’t fall back asleep.  We took a tuk tuk up the hill to breakfast. I ate eggs and bacon and I tried everything that mommy gave me. I have a deal with mommy that if I try a taste of everything she gives me, I get to go to the trampoline park in Florida.  Did I like what I tried? Yes and no! I liked the eggs the most.  They were so good that I wanted more. Mommy and I talked about the roofs of the houses that are made of tin foil… no, no, tin metal or something.  They are not like regular houses because our houses are made of bricks and theirs are made of metal. We talked about the different ways people live. After breakfast we walked to the lake so we could take a boat ride.  But the boat took so long we couldn’t even go.  After that we walked on a secret path to the freezing cold lake and I jumped in. I felt like I was freezing and gonna freeze.  Then Tia and Mommy jumped in.  Then Chula (a dog) came in with us. She even stayed with us for awhile when the man that was with her left and she even walked to lunch with us! She loved for me to throw rocks and she would dive into the water to get them. She only liked big rocks. She would bark at me to come play and throw big rocks.  She only liked to catch rocks in the air. Her tail would wag when she dove under the water and her booty would float to the top.  Chula only understands Spanish. We walked and we saw a beautiful blue flower and I took lots of pictures.  Then we ate lunch late at 2pm. I had spaghetti and meatballs but it tasted Spanishy and I didn’t like it.  I tried hummus and guacamole on bread and I kinda liked it.  Then we walked 20 minutes to the massage place and Tia took a ten hour massage,  actually it was 2 hours.  We were so bored, we threw rocks and dug for rolly pollies. Rolly pollies are the best in Guatemala. And then Maggie and Michael- John arrived at the massage place and we showed them around.  Then we walked back to dinner.  For dinner you could wear costumes and I wore an orange big shirt with a giant hole in it.  I learned how to spin a quetezal and I spun it 100 times. I was on Mommy’s team when she played cards with the grown ups. Then I played pool with Maggie.  Then we came to our room and took a rinse off and went to sleep.  That’s our storrrrrryyyyyyy!!!!
