Classes continue to go well for all of us, but I won't bore you with the details of Nicole learning new verbs and phrases, Josiah working on -AR verbs, Emma working on conjugating new verbs, and Tyler wrapping up the past tense. Nope, no need to spend time on that. After class today we went on an adventure to Ciudad Vieja which was the capital of Guatemala briefly in the 1500s (for about 14 years). In 1541 there was a large rain storm combined with an earthquake that caused a large mudslide through the town that covered everything! Below is a picture of a tall building that the roof is all that is left of the building:

There was also a church that was built very tall, 27 steps up. As you can see, now only about half a step remains above the road that was built over the mud slide.

Other than these adventures, we have been mostly studying - which is not to exciting to write about or take pictures of. So this blog entry is done!
