we are back!

We came back home on Monday evening, to be honest we could not stand the HOT weather any longer! We felt like we were melting, it got better after the sun went down, but still it was really hot. This has been a very hot year, even here in the city!
Don't get me wrong, we had a great time, lots of beautiful sights, and we got to see some friends and family that we hadn't seen in a long while.
I think that the best thing of all was spending time together, we had a lot of that in the road. It took us 9 and a half hours to get to Flores, a ride that would usually take about 7 hours. That's because it was raining heavily in some parts of the highway and then we got stuck in a trailer/truck wreck. Anyway, we were laughing and singing the whole time in the car, and thank goodness for the A/C!

We had a good time at Flores, even with the hot weather and all, it has changed a lot since the time we used to live there, there are a lot more hotels and nice things like a new levee, which is not finished yet but almost...
The opening of the stadium was really fun, lots of family members, good food and an astonishing view of the Petén Itzá Lake. Seems like my uncle has helped that little town a lot, it is really nice.

Well, enough yapping and lets get into the pictures, I know that is what you're waiting for

Here we are... having a photoshoot while we waited in the road




This is one of the sights on the way to the stadium




The sights of San José, Petén... this is another soccer field in the town


The sight from the new stadium, we used the view to strike some poses, my sister is a natural...



Here's my brother sporting the family futbol uniform, they played twice that day



The team, all uncles and nephews got their uniforms


Mom and Dad showing some love lol!


The levee (is that the right word?)


Nice! I think we look cute in this one! We stayed there for about 15 minutes and that was it... it was 10 am and it was about 100.4º!



This is the island's church, it was way too hot to be inside with it full of people so we waited outside and just listened to the sermon

Here we are, sitting in the park infront of the church


Ok, I will include more pics in my next post so stay tuned! I have a LOT!
