Famosa!

I'm famous! I made the Guatemalan newspaper the first month that I have been here! I was hanging out with Stephanie in my hotel room this afternoon when her phone rang. It was our friend Jean Ah telling her that Anita and I were in Saturday's newspaper! The first week that we were here, we went out to this lounge one night to try to find a dancing place. It was like a Tuesday night so it was not crowded and I remember someone taking our picture, but I thought maybe they were just from the lounge and wanted pictures for their website or something. Oh, no, we made the "society" section of the Guatemalan newspaper! So, we ran downstairs and asked at the front desk if they had an issue of the paper. They didn't. But they told us that if we called the newspaper office tomorrow we can ask for a back issue of the paper. I want a few copies! ha ha. Stephanie and I looked online and found a link to the pictures online. Soooo, you can follow these simple directions and see a picture of me in the Guatemalan paper! Listen carefully -
1. Cut and paste this link into your browser: http://www.prensalibre.com/pl/2008/agosto/30/259738_p1.html
2. Click on the bar that says "Presione aqui! Para generar galeria interactiva" (This will take you to the gallery.)
3. A photo of three guys will come up. Click on the button on the right side of the picture that says "Siguiente" which means next. You will need to hit this button on the next two pictures as well. Anita and I are in the fourth and last picture!!!!
I am going to try to find a copy of it tomorrow. If so I'll take a picture of it and post it on here. Stay tuned! Oh, let me know if anyone would like a copy and I could sign it if you want. ha ha ha. Soy famosa aqui en Guatemala!!
