A day in my not so everyday life

I woke up on Saturday morning to no power...oh well, these things happen. It seems this was due to the construction they are doing on the highway.

As I am sitting in Ricca Burger (yes, Ricca Burger) waiting for my usual order of eggs, refried beans and cheese, I begin to contemplate the busy day ahead.

Inside I am whimpering like a child because of the flea bites on my arms and waist. I am hoping the situation was resolved with some deadly spray. I really hope tonight they are not waiting for me. I want to sleep alone!

First thing this morning, it’s off to a hill right on the edge of town to go pick up trash from the street. It seems that the community there has been pushing the municipality for TRASH CANS, but to no avail......

From there, there is only one thing to do- FUTBOL. The Gold Cup match between Guatemala and Canada (Ends up the power still didn't come back in most parts of the city and so, another unforgettable fútbol experience, running around town trying to find somewhere to watch the match. Mind you, we were very close to watching it on the sidewalk)

After that (a terrible, depressing match in which Guatemala lost), a little bit of everything- go to the fruit and vegetable market, paint, and prepare for a benefit party tonight. This will involve me being bartender for part of the night :) Yet again, something new for me......I don't ever know what I may be doing the next day or week and surely I am clueless as to what may come next month. There is no everyday here!
