Going to San Lucas Tolimán...supposedly

Quick update. We had planned to stay in Antigua for two weeks--that is, this past week and the coming one. We thought that 2 weeks would give us both enough time to engage in some initial language learning before going to San Lucas. Unfortunately, my language school is pretty expensive. Moreover I have few opportunities to speak or listen to Kaqchikel in Antigua outside my 2 hours of daily instruction, and Elena feels comfortable enough with her proficiency in Spanish to continue her learning independently. So, we decided that we would leave earlier than planned and begin our work in San Lucas a week in advance. Right now we are waiting for our transportation--it is about 3:30 pm and they said they'd be by "after midday," so we're hoping that will be soon... hopefully the next time either one of us posts, it will be from San Lucas Tolimán!
