Tonight I told my parents about my plans. I have to admit, my heart was pounding pretty hard when I spoke the words, "I'm moving to Guatemala next year." I babbled on for quite a bit to allow them time to adjust to the notion, and also because I'm still so super excited to talk about it! I showed them some pictures online of Pana and Lake Atitlan, and they agreed it does look lovely. They didn't really have a lot of questions, though perhaps that was because I blurted out everything I had researched in one long soliloquy.
In the end, I don't think they were very surprised that I would come up with this sort of idea. All three of their daughters are very independent and wander-hungry. Gypsy blood, perhaps?
