Maine

Maine is a beautiful state. I stayed in Harpswell, Maine. The beach house we stayed in had this amazing view. There are boats in this picture. Maine is known for its lobster pronounced lob-stah. Being able to wake up to this view and seeing the sunset go down was just mind-blowing. One day I will come back to this beautiful place that I fell in love with.

Only in Guatemala....

Only in Guatemala did my cousins teach me how to play pool( I think that's what it is called). My skills are not good at all but it was really fun. And my 11 year old cousin always seems to be good at everything . He taught me how to play and he's the pro. My two younger cousins were excited to visit this restaurant because they get to play pool.

Beach Time

La Isla , Guatemala 

The best thing about traveling to Guatemala is visiting the beach. My family was able to visit the beach. The water is always way more warmer there than here in the U.S. Not all of my cousins go in the water because they can't swim but I always go in the water. I miss being at the beach.

Mayan Culture

I have this tradition that every year when I visit Antigua, Guatemala I always get my hair braided. The lady in this picture is Mayan which is one of the ethnicity in Guatemala. They are very talented people. I am always amazed of how they make hand made items like the skirts they are wearing. They are always friendly people. My favorite thing about visiting Antigua, Guatemala is admiring everything from the building to the hand-made items that are sold.

Nothing better than coconuts

I love coconuts.In Guatemala I was able to drink and eat coconuts almost everyday. This coconut was given to me by my aunt. Funny thing how I took this picture the day I left my grandma's house. Thanks to my cousin who took this for me. It always amazes me how there are palm trees everywhere in the village my family lives in. If I lived there I would be picking coconuts everyday. Nothing better than fresh coconuts.

Green Thump Grandpa

This is my tomato plant that my grandpa planted in my garden. I was so happy that I was able to eat fresh tomatoes from my garden. It seems like my grandpa has a green thumb.My best childhood memory was going outside and helping my grandfather water and plant the plants. Next year I hope to have more tomatoes than this year. Thanks abuelo.
