Another good morning from the foot of the Fuego volcano. It's a sunny a peaceful morning in Scatepequez and I am expecting guests for lunch. Today I will make a "cobblike salad" for the three ladies who will be joining us around one o'clock...maybe a nice dessert too, I will have to buy that as my baking skills are NONE! At this time of year almost all the "second" home owners leave to spend time stateside. They mostly have other homes in places like Maine, Oregon and Lake Michigan and want to enjoy there family and friends there...one friend departs for a cozy cabin at a lake in Canada each year...nice. All will return to us about Thanksgiving time.
Last week my niece, Jennifer Fisher, came for a one week visit. It was far too short a time but we managed to get some travel in and went up to the "Quiche" and visited, Nebaj, San Gaspar Chejul and Acul. I love going up to the highlands of Guatemala. It is so peaceful and lush and friendly up there and we enjoyed two nights at Hacienda San Antonio at Acul...we did lots of shopping inroute at Chichicastenango too as well as buying handwoven fabrics and ceramics at every stop along the way. Our ceramics are all handmade, fired and then painted (a polyurethane finished added for waterproofing)
I am a little sleepy today. Jennifer left last Thursday morning and we took her to the airport in Guatemala City around four thirty a.m. (had to beat the morning traffic rush). Friday I had a dental appointment, almost my last one in a series, and I was extra sleepy afterward...I slept the week-end away and only awoke to watch YouTube documentaries...I enjoy historical drama (real or not so much).
I will write another chapter when I am feeling a little more alert. As usual I am glad to be sharing my life with you, now and before now, from Guatemala with love.
Un gran abrazo from my a very restorative nap, my bed, Hotel Chalet, Chichicastenango,
