My second and third weeks in the Gwat

So 356 days of blogging came and went, and I didn't even realise it. I've been going out pretty much every night, and travelling for the past two weekends.

First of all, I love it here in Antigua. It's a relaxed tourist town, and there is always something to do, and someone to meet up with. The picture to the left is of the volcano, Agua, and was taken near my language school. It's a nice enough photo, but it'd look a hell of a lot better if it erupted, and lava started flowing down the streets... fingers crossed.

Towards the end of my second week here, my morning teacher (I have one in the morning, and another in the afternoon) had a sore throat, and so her voice was pretty husky all morning... verb conjugation has never sounded so sexy. It was especially funny when she then turned to me, looking at me with concern in her eyes, and in her deep, titillating husky voice asked me "Do have a goma?" Not knowing what a goma was, I looked it up in the dictionary... turns out it means "condom". I stared back at her in disbelief... never have I been asked if I have a condom at 9.30 in the morning by a teacher. I pointed to the dictionary, confused, wondering what she would say if I said "Yes, I do have one." She looked at it and burst out laughing... turns out that goma is another word for "hangover" over here... After this moment of frivolity, she asked me again,

[Her] So, do you have a goma?
[Me] Yes.
[Her] When you say yes, do you mean a hangover or a condom?

I wouldn't tell her...

Anyway, here are some more photos from my time here. I hope to write some more in a few days time.
