Happy New Year

Just a quick update to wish you all a happy new year (even if a little late). I've been chilling out at Lake Atitlan for the past week and am now back in Antigua for a few days before heading off on a quick travel around Guatemala for the rest of January. I am back to reading books again and have just finished Man and Boy by Tony Parsons and am about to start rereading Memoirs of a Geisha as it's such a great book. Now that I'm not at school I have the ability to concentrate on reading again!!
The firecrackers and the volcano have all calmed down here now so it's much easier to sleep at night. The weather has been fantastic, although a little fresh in the morning. The sunrises at the lake were just beautiful. It's such a special time of day and so peaceful, even if a little early!! I'm waiting for some pics to be emailed to me as I don't have the camera this month, so then I'll be able to share the beauty of the sunrises with you all.
Hope 2006 brings lots of joy and happiness to everyone. I feel blessed to have started the year in such a beautiful way.
