guate begins...
it has begun!
i have started the first few weeks with the kids, and although it will take the kids a while to warm up (ie speak), its gonna be great. it took the city kids about 5 months last time, so i'll have patience! went to the city to make my plan for the year and its going to be ace fun.
apart from school and the end of the rainy season (hurrah), we've just been focusing a lot on food (yeeeeeah). we did a detox, and ate all natural, so that was good, if not slightly headachey and narky to begin with ("edgy" as kenny described me!). but are now back on the eating trail, kenny's making all sorts of delights such as grapefruit, lime and ginger jam, hoummous and baba ganoush, and of course the famous chili sauce which has already kicked off to a flying start. we are just in the process of finalising label design before the empire takes over guatemala!
jess is coming to visit soon, so we'll be looking forward to a few mini trips around gaute, to see some more of this magnificent country... we're welcoming any art supplies that anyone would like to donate, jess is going to squish her suitcase to the max!
love lots,

mexi fest and guate begins... and we're married!
not really. we’re just being introduced as a married couple so as not to cause any scandal in the town as an unmarried couple living together!! Its quite funny introducing kenny as my spouse. maybe that will satisfy some certain grandmothers and friends on our case??
mexico was incredible, we spent a few weeks thawing out on the beaches of puerto escondido and mazunte, eating shedloads of fish tacos, and as we love to do best, tried to spend the majority of the time in a hammock. oaxaca city was rad shopping and stringy cheese city, heaps of cool art going on as well. there is so much more going on in terms of food, art, music than guatemala. Its as if guate got left behind somewhere.... but even for that reason, guatemala is so amazing.
we had either forgotten or underestimated the beauty of this lake, it has to be one of the most beautiful and magical places in the world, and we have a real estate agents view of one of the lake and an honest view of the volcano in the background. our place is a cozy little stone cottage with the classroom attached to it, and the kids come for a mixture of photography, graphic design, art and english classes for four days a week. the rest of the time we’ll be living a wholesome lifestyle, enjoying the town, the lake, the uber friendly people, and kennys cooking!!!! the demand for kennef tangs sweet chilli sauce has been overwhelming, so much that kennys been put to work ahead of schedule.
here are some photos of the mexi fest and our place in santiago atitlan..... now open for visitors!!!
big love,
bree and kenny xxx
