WEEK 18: Achievement Unlocked: Happy New Year!!
Feliz Año!! I'm not gonna lie the New Year was CRAZY here. There were fireworks going off literally everywhere. All along the horizon and people were lighting fireworks off in front of our house so they were above us too. It was awesome. There are these things here called munigotes and they are paper machete statues of every USA thing you could think of and at the end of the year they fill them up with dynamite and just light them off in the streets. We weren't able to watch any unfortunately because we had to be in our house at 6pm yesterday. Last night we played 5 crowns because one of the elders in my house brought it from home and we had sparkling cider as well. It was super cool because that's what my family at home ended up doing for new years as well. It was cool to live that tradition 4000 miles away lol. We had transfers this past week and I am still in my same area in the peninsula with my Guatemalan companion AND we're finally not in a trio anymore....
