Ode to Iceberg Lettuce & Three Saturdays in Xela, Part I

Saludos!
The past three Saturdays in Xela can sum up the eh-hem, ¨range¨of experiences I have had while living in the highlands of Guatemala. As I write you from this internet cafe, Santana is blasting from the small radio in the corner and school children in uniforms are rushing home for lunch--which is the main meal here as opposed to dinner in the States...the smell of fresh tortillas and tamalitos (which I have since learned have tons of calcium and contribute to the low rate of osteoperosis in women in Guatemala)...so forgive me if I am a little distracted...
