A little love, some coffee and a very small world

Today I visited a Coffee farm here in Antigua. It was pretty interesting as I drink a lot of Antigua brewed Starbucks coffee in the US. I got a chance to see the stages of coffee bean cultivation from seedling all the way to the nice cup of coffee. I really like antigua a lot, but i'm definately ready to move on to hospitalito santiago. This week, I ended up doing lots of reading to brush up on my clinical diagnosis skills in between seeing some of the ruins here in antigua. Needless to say, I end up doing lots of walking throughout the day. I really haven't spent much time back in the house (which has been totally awesome as I have met tons of ppl from diff culturs) as the last thing i want to do is go back home and speak MORE spanish. All of my roomates except one are pretty much fluent in spanish leaving me to be all clowny during meals. That being said, I just love going out and meeting people and I hate to be indoors.

I found out few days back that a few of the teachers at my school have a crush on me. In fact my teacher had told me this. In all honesty, I feel like the class clown of the school however it's relieving in a way to know that they're not all laughing at me, but are rather being flirty. I was getting a bit annoyed at all the gigling. I also had a guy approach me while i was reading in the park yesterday only to realize 5 minutes into the conversation when he invited me to his home and asked if i was single(he said, mi casa es su casa) that he probably was gay. Other than that there isn't much drama and I'm having a blast. It's amazing how two ppl can live in different parts of the world with diffrent lives and at some random point, paths converge and you are face to face conversingat a bar or at a restaurant and then u go your separate ways. It's just awesome and destiny definately has something to do with it. In a span of 2 weeks I have met ppl from all over the world, Israel, australlia, the netherlands, iceland, sweden, switzerland, and many more giving me a diff perspective on way I see things.
