More Antigua Guatemala...

Happy Belated 4th of July!!! Hope everybody enjoyed the fireworks, hot-dogs, beer, and baseball games…. Is there anything more American than this? Me? I had to work down here, since we don’t get 4th of July off… imagine that! We did get June 30th off for Army Day (sorta like Veteran’s day over in the US), so we headed down to Antigua on Wednesday and had a great time, singing, drinking and a little dancing. Below, you’ll find some pics of Estuardo and Marianna (in Antigua), who have been together for almost three months now… wow, how time flies:

Oh behave!

Work is still hectic, another close has come and gone, and besides that, working on a couple of different project… On some good news, started hitting the gym again this Monday… man, was I sore on Tuesday, I think I was walking like a robot the entire day… my calves were killing me! That two month hiatus between my ankle injury and the WC really has me out of shape. Speaking of WC, who would’ve thought that Italy and France would make it to the FINAL… not sure who I’ll be rooting for, though I’m leaning more towards… hmm, still not sure.

A friend (Tatiana) from Guatemala that lives in Texas is here visiting… so of course, we went to Antigua last Friday. We ended up at Monoloco, hanging out with a bunch of Americans, one who decided he was gonna do the “worm” on the bar counter (he is a friend of one of the bar owners). They had been dancing to eighties songs on the bar counter, and this dude decided it was time to do the “worm”. The bar counter was cleared of all bottles and glasses, and this guy got up and then jumped down… SMACK! Hit his face really bad directly on the bar counter and landed a bit towards the side, kicking my friend’s beer (she was to the side, with the mug in her hand) which then spilled all over her and inside her purse… it was one of the funniest things ever!!! I swear, I was laughing for about five minutes straight. After doing the worm about three times, then the guy came over and offer to buy Lucky a drink… ahh… crazy Americans!!! I’m really sorry I don’t have any pics of this event… too funny! We should head back there this weekend, since Tatiana goes back to the States on Monday.

A little tired today, since we got together to play Phase 10 last night and the game didn’t end till about 12AM (we did start sorta late). Have any of you played this game, which is a combination of UNO and RUMMIKUB? If you haven’t played it, I highly recommend it… really fun to play with a bunch of friends (it’s only about $10), though I must warn you, heated discussions and bad feelings may arise during play.

Saludos a todos… let me know what’s up with you guys.
