Hola from Antigua!

So we've been here in Antigua, Guatemala for two weeks now, and it's taken a little while to adjust, but life is good. Antigua is a beautiful old town and we've become familiar with our surroundings and are enjoying the sights. Steve has law classes 4 hours a day and I meet two hours a day with a Spanish tutor. Aliyah is walking all over the place! Unfortunately, learning to walk in a world where there is no carpet and there's a lot of cobblestone is not the easiest thing to do, and she's got the bumps and bruises to show for it. But she's learning quickly, and loving all the attention she gets for pretty much everyone, other students, hotel staff, people on the street, everyone. I guess there's no denying she's a pretty cute baby!
This past weekend, we also had the opportunity to visit Panajachel on Lake Atitlan. It was beautiful! While there, we met up with one of Steve's mission companions and spent the evening with him, his wife and baby, and his wife's extended family. It was interesting to see the way they lived and a good opportunity for me to practice my Spanish. Unfortunately, we were only there for a day and a night, and for a good amount of that time, I was pretty sick, so we didn't get to see much of the town. Fortunately, a week from now, we will be moving to Panajachel, so we will get to see as much of it as we want!
And now, some things I like about Antigua, and a few things I don't.

Things I Like:
It's very pretty in an ancient sort of way.
Everything is within walking distance.
I don't have to cook. (We live in a hotel.)
The other students are super nice and I don't feel like I'm an outsider even though I'm not a student.
I'm learning Spanish.
The food is delicious.
Our hotel is nice.
The weather is wonderful. (Upper 70s to low 80s, mid 60s at night)

Things I don't like:
The city is old, so although our hotel is nice, it's an old convent built in the 1600's and lacks a few amenities. But really, it's not bad, it's very pretty, just old.
Sharing a room with Aliyah. This has probably been the most difficult thing. It's taken some adjusting and some creativity, but I think we've about got her back to her normal sleep schedule.
I'm not good at Spanish.
We have to find a place to eat twice a day.
The food does not always agree with our stomachs.

So far, things have been great and we are enjoying this adventure. We're learning a lot both in and out of the classroom and are blessed to have this amazing opportunity.
