Summer Plans!

Here's what's coming up for team teco/teca!

This Week
Wednesday - Beth finishes school; Thursday - we spend the day packing up our apartment; Friday - we spend the day moving into our new apartment; Saturday - more unpacking and also cleaning our old apartment and turning in the keys; Sunday - we pack for our trip to Miami!

Next Week
Beth and I fly out Monday mid-day for a week in Miami with my parents. Originally my parents were going to come visit us in Guatemala, but we scrapped that idea after some recent events in the city. Everything probably would have been fine, but we didn't want them to be nervous about traveling here. My aunt and uncle have once again been kind enough to let us use their apartment for free for the week (this is where Beth and I honeymooned and also went back to the following summer). We are so looking forward to seeing Mom and Dad, being on the beach, drinking Cubanos (espresso with sugar), eating all kinds of good food (from seafood to Thai to Cuban), relaxing around the apartment, reading, playing Scrabble, and more!

July
After Miami we'll return to Guatemala for a few days before leaving once again for our big summer trip. We leave July 1 for an entire month in Western Europe! We'll spend the bulk of our time in Giessen, Germany, with our good friends, Rob and Linden. We've already planned two weekend trips with them: one to Berlin and one to Prague. There will also be day trips here and there to parts of Germany (can't wait to utilize that oh-so efficient German public transportation system!). Our last week of the month Beth and I will travel through Belgium, possibly France, and The Netherlands. We return to Guatemala July 31.

While we're in Germany we will still blog and post photos about our trip in progress, so please check in!

You shall blog and post pictures if we allow you to utilize our computers. Pray that we are in a generous mood. I recommend you start praying now.

Well, Beth. I was all ready to wish you well on your upcoming travels when, Pow! Not one false alarm but two. Be very sure about when you choose to cry wolf. James, God Bless You.
I am very happy for your new apartment. Your Mom & I feel better for you.
Finally, HAVE A BLAST IN MIAMI AND IN EUROPE!! That was such a great move!
Love You Both!
