Still alive, yo.

Hey team,

Apologies for the lack of hot blog action of late. Truth is I've been very busy of late. My teaching schedule is now up to 23 hours a week, with 8 hours of travelling to and from to business classes and another 6 hours of Spanish tuition. That's all before I've started lesson planning too. All this means I'm not a very exciting bunny at the moment.

That said, the teaching is great fun and to be honest, there's not really that much to do here anyway. I did manage to go to some bars and talk to some Guatemaltecos in halting Spanish last weekend and as soon as I finish writing this the school is taking all the staff bowling. Then I'm off to empty the pockets of Arnout, our Dutch teacher, in a game of poker.

In football news, we keep getting thrashed but we have now recruited a 7th player and we we're even ahead for a few minutes last week, so things might be looking up. No suntan (obviously) or Guatemalan girlfriend yet to those keeping score on that front. My sunblock just needs to last another couple of months and the its rainy season and cloudy skies for six whole months, whoop whoop!

My future plans include a trip up north to our other school in Coban, and maybe escaping down to El Salvador for a weekend if I can ever get some time off. Reports on anything exciting I do will be swiftly posted on here, possibly with photos once I've attacked the charger for my camera battery with some 'No mas claves'.

That's about time up for this blog post. Thanks to anyone who's emailed - I've tried to reply to all correspondence. If anyone fancies visiting feel free, although bear in mind there is bugger all to do here. Also, if anyone fancies bringing me a laptop from Asia, the US or Britain that would be awesome.

Laters, potaters...
