quick note

Found my English-speaking guide today! and got half of the textiles tour I wanted. Going to San Francisco el Alto market tomorrow, it´s the biggest market in Guatemala. Sunday I go back out into the village to talk to more artisans (with a trilingual guide!).

Thrilled with everything, but I´m fighting off flu, and the Internet cafe is closing, so I think I´m going to go back to my hotel and fall over. More later!
