So you can Know about me

Well I wanted to show you a little bit of my city, I thought about sharing first about the place where I work. My school is located in the center of the city, and it is in the historical part of Xela. We are using two buildings now, but starting next year IGA school will be located in a different building, and IGA courses will remain in the same building, I work in both programs.

 

This is the side of the building, I took this picture in the morning, that is why it seems so quiet.

This is the front of the building, you can see the poster that has some information about the vacation course we have in school, courses are always started in November and they end on December 7th, these days are the noisiest days, because we have a lot of kids in school, ages 5 to 15, but we miss the noise in January :)

 this is inside the school, you won't see any students because it was taken at 6:50 in the morning and classes start at 7:00. 

This picture is from the other building, it is also an old house, by the way most of the houses in the past were built this way, they have all the rooms around the patio, and the bathrooms were in a different room, that means that at night you had to go outside to get to the bathroom, scary right.

This is upstairs in one of the big rooms, the view is nice from that part, most of the rooms are small but the environment of the house is calm and at night it gets a bit creepy, old houses are scary by nature.

This is inside one of the big classes, we have a maximum of 30 students in this room, and we do that cause the house is old and the floor is made of wood, so it's not safe to have a lot of people there :)

This is one of the halls, in the house, because the house is part of the historic center, we can not change anything in the building, we can restore it but not change it.

This is Central Park, it was a sunny day and there weren't a lot of cars because they were going to have an activity there.

This is our City Hall, it is located in front of the park, in the past most of the main buildings were built around the park, and in all of the cities in Guatemala you can see the same thing.

This is another picture of the park, the place you see there is used by a lot of people to play songs, juggle or just hang around with friends, it's comfortable.

This is one of the things they use to make the fabric that is used in the traditional clothes here in Guatemala.

Pictures of the park, it's a nice place and you can feed the birds that have their nest on the trees.

This is the Church, well part of it, you see in 1976 Guatemala had an earthquake that destroyed some buildings and what you see is what was left of the original church, just the front part, then inside if I am not mistaken, it was rebuilt.

Well that is it for today as soon as I have more pictures, I will post them and tell you a bit more about my city. I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Take care.
