Plantanos (plan-TA-nos)

Yes, today was the first day I had plantanos in Guatemala . And for those of you who dont know what that implies here it goes. Plantanos are a banna like fruit they can be cooked two ways, boiled they are simmilar to a patato, or fried they are like a fried banna a little sweeter similar texture. Well most people cant stand the things but personaally I love them. But again that is just me.

I guess I might as well tell you about my diet down here. Probably 75% my diet is carbs. Bread, pasta and Rice. 34% probably fruit and vegetables and 1% meat. That is really hard only getting a little meat. Since I LOVE MEAT it is really hard. Right now I am craving a really big thick burger with a lot of cheese and some chocolate. Maybe this weekend I will go get a burger somewhere. The food is really good, the only thing that I havent liked is Pacaya wich is a really bitter vegtable. But i have liked everything else.

School is going really well. I am taking 6 hours right now. I go from 8-12, then 2-4 with a 30 minute break at 10. It is so hard. Most of the days when i get done I jsut want to ram my head into a brick wall. My brain is slowly turning to mush. Dont get me wrong I love it and I am learning a lot. I can just physicially feel my brain ache from so much knowledge. I mean I have the same amount of time as people in high school, but i am just learning spanish. But I love it and wish I coudl do it for another month.

Well I need to be going, Love you all, Miss you all.
Until We see eachother again, pray for me and the people of Guatemala
Your Brother in Christ
