Hi everyone! Just wrapping up another sunny day here in Quiche. Brittany and I spent the day laying in the sun, playing backgammon at our little "diamond in the rough" Blintz Cafe, and shopping in the market. Yesterday I snapped this photo of our soon to be house we are renting after we get back from Antigua next month. This picture makes Quiche look VERY attractive, however our rental is one of the nicest places in town. We snagged this baby for only $225 a month with utilities and cable included! Expensive by Quiche standards... a steal by ours. The interior of the house is very clean and the owners are making sure to have the washer hooked up along with a new large bed, cable, and TV ready for us when we move in next month. We cannot wait to have such a nice space to ourselves. We originally had planned to stay in the converted upstairs apartment of a very outgoing Guatemalan woman named Carmen, however when her relatives decided to stay longer than expected, she asked around within her family (these tend to be very large here in Guatemala) to see if anyone had a place we could use. It turns out her niece's husband was just promoted in the Guatemalan Air Force and assigned to Guatemala City. Wanting to keep their house in Quiche, they were more than happy to rent it to a few nice gringos who could help them with their loan payment...US! Now you will just have to come visit and see how nice it is for yourself!

I was almost feeling bad for you guys, having to live in cramped quarters, but now i'm sort of envious. Congrats on the find!
