Friday October 14th was originally planned to be the day that we would go to Iximche, a site about 2 hours from Antigua, however, because of rain and landslide conditions, we pushed the trip back to the next week. So instead of going to Iximche, we watched "The Lost King of the Maya" documentary instead. The documentary is about the discovery of the royal lineage of the kings of Copan, and the recreation of the hieroglyphic staircase. For a side note, walking to the Casa was a pain, because the rain was unbelievable and I got soaked through, however, Antigua is not suffering even a fraction as much as some of the outlaying area are.
I spent the morning in the Casa, watching the video, and hanging out with some of the other students. I stayed in the Casa throughout the day, working on this blog and setting up my registration for classes next semester back at MassArt (registration is Monday Oct. 24th). There were some concerns about my registration in regards to this abroad semester, but it all got sorted out via e-mail very quickly (Thank you Lois).
I stayed until 5pm here in Casa until it closed then I went home and worked on more Spanish, listening to the rain as it continued to come down.
