We spent our first week in Quetzaltenango, usually called Xela after its Mayan name. We attended Spanish language school through Centro Maya de Idiomas and lived with a local family. Here are some pictures of the downtown area of Xela (more descriptive captions will appear when I get a chance!). | ||
