today the ones whom have ushered us into guatemala and given us so much energy and resources have departed. felix and laura return to texas where they live half of the year. we have slowly become less dependent of their daily help, but we will certaintly miss their company. last night as an act of thankfulness we cooked felix, laura, and felix´s family dinner. we all brought our cooking skills to the table (literally) with our different influences. i made chipati(a flatbread i learned to make in sudan) and noel made dessert with marla. it felt good to return the favor of hospitality to felix´s family and also show our appreciation to felix and laura. after mamitas (felix´s mom) finished her first glass of wine, when offered more she refused saying ¨esta baracha¨. we were proud of how well everything turned out.
very soon noel will post a blog describing our recent experience with a local coffee farmer and his interesting estate. until then adios.
