Back
I was already to upload some pictures, but my dad's computer died (just the battery) after one set of pictures. I might have to wait until I get back to Kansas to get the rest, but for now, it is just nice to be in America. I've enjoyed Krispy Kreme donuts, a Ruby Tuesday burger, outlet shopping, warm showers, Granny's cookies and meatballs, visits with aunts and uncles, and wearing NO SHOES. I've gotten to see my adorable adorable nephew, cuddle with my brothers, and visit Hershey's Chocolate World and eat sundaes with my parents and sister.
Todd is away for four more weeks...it is AGONIZING! You would think after 8 weeks we would be sick of each other but its not true. I'm sure there were times when I was dripping sweat in Mexico that I didn't want him to touch me, but a lot will be happening while he is gone. My mom is visiting Kansas, I am starting my new job (3rd grade at Williams!)...well, isnt that enough?
Being back in reality sure is hard, but it was nice not having to work, seeing the world, etc. before reality hits again. I'm just hoping I survive until another summer (that will probably be a lot less fun than this one!)

Semuc Champey
- Semuc Champey is a natural pool "bridge" over the river below.
- We climbed UP a waterfall. To get back down, we either had to jump 30 feet into the water or climb back up. I climbed back up, Todd jumped :)

A Letter
Dear America,
Happy late Independence Day. Obviously, we didnt really celebrate this year because we´re not in America! But I wanted you to know that I´m starting to miss you a bit. I miss being able to drive, and not having to walk EVERYWHERE. I miss real chocolate cake (real chocolate anything, the chocolate here STINKS). Of course, I miss my family and friends, and even my job (but I have a new one that I´m SO excited about!). I miss my clothes, and I am sick of wearing the same 5 shirts all summer. Jess, you and I are going shopping when I get back!
Guatemala has been fun (massages for 12 bucks can´t be beat either!), but America is where it´s at. I could sure go for some real ranch or caesar dressing, salad that I´m not afraid to eat, and Wal-Mart, yes, even Wal-Mart. The people here have the patience of saints to go to 5 or 6 different places to get everything they want. Did I already say I miss driving? It will be nice not to have to worry about getting a disease from walking around barefoot or drinking the water. I will even love flushing stuff down the toilet. You can´t do that here. It´s weird (and sometimes the trash really stinks). I miss my internet at home. I miss live episodes of my reality shows. I miss having the choice of grabbing what I want from my own fridge, and sleeping in my lovely pillowtop bed. I miss NOT having to translate what people say, in my head, into English. And I bet Todd WON´T miss having to call Bank of America every few weeks to reactive our card...again.
Well, there´s lots more I miss, but I´ll stop for now. I want to enjoy Antigua and the rest of my trip while I can. Plus, we still have Belize and the Yucatan to discover.
And thank goodness I also have a husband with inordinate amounts of patience, because now that we´ve hit six weeks (constantly together and always moving) I am not the easiest person to be around!
Again, love you America (and all the great people we know inside of it!)
