Maia in Guat: New Job & a Bout with "La Turista"

Whoa baby! I have the famous Guatemalan amoeba residing in my stomach. Three days and counting. I am going back to the orphanage tomorrow and will receive serious medicine there. In the mean time I am frequenting the bathroom. My break has been interesting. Livingston was sort of boring, but I had a good time with my friend, Inger, from Norway. I left her in Livingston, because she couldn`t bare to return to Rio Dulce. She found a friend there also, from Guatemala...some guy named Achilles (sp?). Haha. I've been spending the rest of the week with Norman (sorry no pictures yet). That's been really nice. He is a really fun person and he invites me to all sorts of places. He has invited me to travel with him in December. He and his friends are going to Nicaragua. I said yes, and I hope it works out. So when I get back to the orphanage I am going to be a reading, writing and mathematics teacher. This position will last through the kids vacation period (about 2 months). I am really excited to have my own class room, and to be away from the office. I think this position as vacation teacher will lead me into teaching a grade during the school year. I hope so! Okay, now I am going to drink some tea and try to get something to stay in my stomach. I miss everyone over there in the states. I love my family! I really want a salami and cheese bagel. Ohhhh, that would be so amazing...
I am sending hugs and kisses to everyone (and Gussers and Cutie too)!
Love Maia
