Hey we're back!

Yes, the title of this post both signifies that the internet is back in working order again (for now) and serves as a tribute to Jonathan Katz!

Jonathan Katz is the voice of Dr. Katz in the series by the same name, as well as Eric - Melissa's dad - in Home Movies. He's hilarious! I bought his stand-up album, and honestly didn't really care for it - sorry Jonathan. But everything else he's done is comedic gold - including his podcast series "Hey We're Back!" If you're a fan of either Dr. Katz or Home Movies, this is right up your alley. I think you can find back episodes here.

As I said earlier, the reason I didn't blog yesterday was because of internet issues - again, not poisonous snakes! I did however learn how to say "poisonous snake" en español - serpiente venenosa. I think that's right ... Hopefully I won't have to use this phrase in an emergency room ... again :)


And now for something completely different! This is what I like to call "Peanut's Gallery of Punch Buggies."

That's right kid - I'm saving them up for you! And guess what? VW Things count for two! So I know you're thinking there's no Beetle in that second to last picture - but click on it and zoom in! Hay un Beetle rojo (there is a red Beetle)! It's just in front of the guy on the scooter. I wasn't quick enough on the draw to get a picture as it went past, so I had to snap a long distance photo. Don't even try to say it isn't there, cause you know it is!

When I explained to Stefan the Austrian why I was taking pictures of VW Beetles, he informed me that they don't play this game in Austria. Seems like a shame since VWs are made next door, in Germany.

Before I came down here, I stocked up on power adapters (they were, of course, from Toshi Station), but it turns out I haven't needed them yet. They're only necessary if your power cord has three prongs and/or it has the one prong that's wider than the other. I guess maybe newer electronics have more universal power cords? Stefan the Austrian was able to use one though!

Anoche hubo poco frio entonces me pono pantalones (last night it was a little cold so I put on pants). Turns out pants were a bad choice. I was kinda looking forward to wearing my jeans for the first time since arriving in Guatemala, but it turns out they were waaaay to hot! Better to be tad bit nippy than sweat it out. Plus, the humidity instantly doubled the weight of the jeans. Ridiculous. Live and learn :)
