In the streets of Antigua In Antigua there were 52 churches that were most 17th Century built. But that was constructed in Vulkannaehe colonial city and former capital of Guatemala repeatedly struck by earthquakes and more time to rubble and ashes. Today, work and around 12 churches, the rest have crumbled to imposing ruins. Some of them can be visited, depending on the placer to calculate the admission price. Some impressions we would not deny you, it's really intresting, if you see lying around tons of heavy stone blocks and broken columns like Lego blocks.
Before we welcomed the new year, we visited with the teacher Jeanette Children's Home San Jose. The red bows at the front gate betrayed, that contribute here, the AIDS assistance and private donor financial assistance. A few days before we choose from a list of two children, which we bought new clothes. Then we visited the home, and the 52 HIV-infected children received their Christmas gifts. It was impressive how great the joy of the Kid's, but was still more they were happy about the visit and the games, otherwise they will be more or less left up to themselves. Her parents are prostitutes, alcoholics, or otherwise not very social and erziehungsfaehig. We could see that the help and donations arrive here directly and seriously, and the children are helped

Jeanette would have Lisa and Lili packed like to ... New Year's Eve was an experience for us. Once again Toritos were on the road, the race tied up with fireworks by the people. However, we knew this time that we look for better coverage. The streets of Antigua were full of people, there were many performances under the open sky, lit up every hour of bombastic fireworks. There were concerts, dances, and Foodstaende erstaundlich little alcohol. Could have helped the spirits are first bought in the store must, as there was a bottle of rum with 1.5 liters of Coke and a chip-bag for a few Quetzales. Yes, yes, the ignorant are punished. This was fireworks until the morning come in many street corners, so came up a little but still be sober joy that can be connected to the positive side effect, welcome the new year even without hangover.
pyromaniac who call themselves Toritos!
clock at 00.00 we were at the family home to a huge, "furztrocknen" to eat turkey. Together with Lisa, a CH-in that is with us in the same school and family, we cooked a previously Hoerndlisalat. Thank God we saved not salad dressing, so could the rubbery, dusty turkey be dipped. want of fairness I mention here that Eva otherwise very good cook and especially varied. Now we are only a month on tour, and had our last day of school. In the next week we will visit some projects and then decide to participate in one. We hope that we can also do the right place at the right things and improve our already learned espanol to continue to grow.
