Journey to the Summit This journal records progress to my first goal, a long time desire to learn, converse & dream in Spanish and a 2nd goal continue training in Guatemala for my future summit of Mt. Rainier, Washington.

Our hotel recommended this restaurant just off the city square. We went around 2 PM. A group of xylophonists were playing in the entrance. The walls of the restaurant were covered in fun Spanish quotes. We ordered a lovely Guatemaltecan meal along with a bottle of Cab/Syrah from Chile where Theora has lived, studied, and is heading back for her junior semester abroad. In the States Theora is not old enough to drink legally but here, "no problema." The meal was delicious and the wine--fantastico. One of the best I have ever enjoyed.
