Leaving Finca Ixobel

Heading to San Jose up on Lago Peten Itza today.  Not much to write about - but am not sure if I will have internet at all for the next week.  If the school has internet, then yes, but if not, San Pedro is not very touristy, so therefore I doubt there will be much in the way of internet cafes.

Finca Ixobel has been okay.  It is really gorgeous!  Some cooling off in the pond, reading, sitting around, playing ping pong, and meeting some really crazy people who have had some interesting adventures.  Realized that I am, perhaps, the ONLY "1" on the enneagram in this whole country - or at least up in the jungle-y part of the country.  :)

100 Years of Solitude

Opted out of the cave trips when I learned 1) that there are terrantulas (sp??) in the caves and 2) that you have to walk/swim in the water in the caves for part of it.  Sounded neither fun nor relaxing.

The book I ended up buying in Antigua is 100 Years of Solitude.  Seems appropriate!  I am not enjoying it very much - but it is something to do.  Anyone read it?  One problem I am having is that all of the characters (which up to this point is about 50) have the same names!  I needed to have made a diagram of who is who from the beginning - at this point I'm almost lost and am considering starting over.
