I haven’t had the chance to blog in a few days. We’ve been so busy that my little down time I do have is spent blogging with Luca, which I’d take over doing my own blog any day. Wednesday I got Guatemala (the funk) but started meds the same day so it never hit me hard.  I also used it as an excuse even though Nicole and I planned it the night before I got sick lol) to play hooky from school. Nicole and I haven’t had any time to just have fun and wander so with Maggie and Luca in school and MJ in charge of them we were free to do as we pleased for a few hours.  So we decided to pamper ourselves with amazing massages and Nicole even convinced me to go into the sauna where I am pretty sure the the vix vapor rub that was in the magical bottle of water we doused the furnace with cleansed my soul.  Between the heat and the cold shower I have to admit it was pretty invigorating. I then conceded to and embraced the hippiness of this town (and my best friend) and went to a vegan place for lunch (you know the give and take that comes in all friendships,  I make her try sketchy places and she makes me eat vegan) Not only was the restaurant gorgeous, it was delicious. We picked up Luca from school and headed out to see some sights of the city. I took Luca to one of my favorite spots; the basketball courts by the ruins. I spent almost every afternoon with Michael and the boys at this court after school. Such a fun contrast of kids playing basketball with ancient Mayan ruins as their backdrop. We wandered through a convent that was destroyed by two different earthquakes and last used as a prison. The last two pictures in this post (while they are by far the least attractive pictures of ourselves) have to by my favorite taken by Luca. All I hear in my head when I see those pictures are “bad girls bad girls whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you” (sing it with me). I am so lucky I was able to drag my bff on this adventure and introduce her to a world I love. It’s fun to be in a place with so much history and totally worth playing hookie from school.
