Other Events

     Last Sunday, I went to a soccer game here in Antigua with my host family, and it was so fun! Antigua G.F.C. played against the team from Guastatoya, a city in east Guatemala. Everyone was really into it: there was a small band cheering for Antigua and making a lot of noise and everyone in the crowd was yelling. For most of the game, the score was tied 1-1, but in the last minute Antigua scored another goal to win! Sooo exciting. Oh, and the scenery of the stadium is beautiful.

     Today all the students and professors in my group and I went to Finca Filadelfia, a coffee farm about 5 minutes from Antigua. There were thousands of coffee plants there (it's hard to say whether they're trees or bushes because they're around 3 meters tall). We learned ALL about the process of producing coffee from the coffee plant nursery to the bean roaster, and at the end of the tour we got to drink a cup. I'm not really a fan of coffee, but this was delicious, much better than Folgers.. Will have a picture soon!
