Having a ball!

¡Hola! Did you ever sleep in an airport, on those benches with metal arms between every seat? I have, in Dallas, Texas! And I almost didn´t get back on the plane in Mexico City because I didn´t go through customs (How was I supposed to know you have to go and look for them?) But here I am in Guatemala City right on schedule - almost. Actually we were supposed to leave here this morning by shuttle (no, not the space shuttle, just a semi-private van). But somebody in Saskatchewan (or was it Alberta?) ordered a snow storm for Saskatoon yesterday morning, so my daughter and her boyfriend (Rachelle and Vitaliy) were late getting to Denver and missed their connection to Dallas and beyond. So I´m here all alone and they are supposed to get here tonight.

But its OK. I´ve met two very nice (and young) women from Canada (unfortunately one left after meeting me and the other has her partner here!) I walked back to the same zoo I was at three years ago (it takes about 45 minutes from here each way). I wanted to go to the museum or the children´s museum, but it turns out you need exact change and I didn´t have that. But I found a great craft market to shop at and look around - that took a while and cost me some money. I bought a bottle fo cold water and a hat - and OK a few other things too! And

Hope you´re having fun cause I am - its great to meet new people and to see new things - and some of the food is OK too! ¡Hasta luego!

  1. Hi Al! Hope you get this - As we both know, Grandma's a bit technically challenged,so hopefully this won't end up somewhere in cyberspace! I really miss you, but hope you are having a good time. Did you have fun at the zoo? When do you climb the volcano? Adios Sienor Alan - Austen Presiloski
