8 de Agosto

I spent 4 hours today in the center street trying to sell my goods, absolutely no luck. I’m still being optimistic and telling myself that I still have 5 or 6 days left. I had a hard time sleeping last night because Magda told us the stories of Guatemalan Legend and why she believes in some of them. The freakiest one is about this phantom ghost who takes the form of your girlfriend from the back. When you follow here into the woods you soon become lethargic and after a while you can’t walk. At that time, the Phantom ghost turns around and her face is actually a skinless horse face. Once you make eye contact, you die. Scary, huh? The other one has something to do with 5 little ghost children in Mariachi outfits. Needless to say, I woke up a lot. The word of the day is “suena.” This means “ dream” in Spanish.
