Road Tripper!
Last weekend mami, papi & I took a little road trip in Dewey. They needed to renew some paper work to keep Dewey legal in Guatemala, and I wanted to get in on the road trip fun that they tell me about. The border with El Salvador is only about an hour and a half away, but the trip felt really long because we got held up at the border for a long, long time and they wouldn't even give Dewey his papers. I made sure to behave really well the whole trip so that mami and papi could see that I'm going to be a good little road tripper just like them! Take a look at how I kept myself busy.
On the way home mami & papi were rockin' out and I wanted to get in on the action. I know they say it can't be true, but I'm pretty certain that I'm their biological dog-ter. I love all the same things that my mami does, like singing and dancing....and peanut butter!
Gypsies at heart, we’ve packed up our Colfax Avenue apartment, left our jobs & said our goodbyes with hopes of making a difference in the lives of many as well as our own. Share in our adventure as we uproot ourselves from the mile high city & road trip through Mexico, on our way to a new home & new way of life in Guatemala. UPDATE: After 2 amazing years of living and loving in Latin America this family of three is learning the art of settling down in Charlotte, NC where we purchased our first fixer home. Stay turned to follow our adventures of a different sort - exploring another totally new culture (the South!) & DIYing the heck out of our home!
Hola! My name is Semilla Maya (Mayan Seed in Spanish), but you can call me Mia. Welcome to my blog about the life of Guatemalan puppy girl living with 2 adventurous Gringo parents in Antigua. With the help of my mami & papi, I'll give you a peek into my life - living, growing and having fun all the while. Thanks for reading! XOXO, Mia

Krista, quit abusing that poor little puppy. :)
ReplyDeleteI might just have to come down there with a few supplies and some treats to check on her.
Looking forward to meeting your little Semilla Maya! See you in a few days.
