Concepción + Sololá, Guatemala

Today we met in my homestay in Concepción. After class we went to the oldest Catholic church in the area. 
It's located right in the middle of the town I am staying in.
 Most of the group and I went out for lunch in Sololá. I ordered a polloburguesa. (chicken burger)
 Bianca, being the sweetheart that she is, bought me my first drink since turning 21. (my birthday was a week ago)
 After lunch we walked to a café called U Kapè for dessert.
How cute is this café?
 Banana and nutella crêpe!
I really dig Concepción and Sololá. Guate is b-e-a-u-tiful. I can't believe this is my home for 6 more weeks!

Bits and Pieces - Guatemala

I've been in Guatemala for over a week now for a summer intensive ethnographic field school. 
This was taken yesterday before class in San Andrés Semetabaj.
 Lago de Atitlán
Can you spot the hummingbird? vvv
Did you see the hummingbird?! ^^ They were flying all over while I was eating lunch in La Reserva Natural.
Walking to Panajachel.
 My professors and classmates surprised me on my birthday.
Blowing out the candles!
Opening presents. My homestay family also made me presents for my birthday!
