My first day 14th of December

Got up at 5.45h. Marko and me went to the airport and Bregje jumped in the same train on Sloterdijk. Eventhough I realy didn´t like saying goodbyes (to my parents, Marko and Bregje), it very warm and not as hard as I thought
At 7h I was printing my boarding passes from a computer. I made a joke that probably the paper was done. And yes the second boarding pass didn´t print. I had to step in line. This was a bad sign!
Next: 1h delay in Amsterdam.
In the plane to Houston there was an empty seat between me and another Dutch girl. She said: "I hope it stays empty". I answered her: "As long as there is no crying baby next to us, Its fine by me". I shouldn´t have said it. There was a friendly American guy from New Mexico sitting between us. He told me he visited Amsterdm with his father for a week and enjoyed the city very much.
I was looking at the movie UP in the plane just above England when he started to move. He was shaking with foam on his mouth. So I called out for some help. The other Dutch girl flew from her place. Too scared! I hold the man on his place and in the mean time they asked on the intercom if there were any medics or nurses in the plane. The guy was realy strong because of his epileptic moves. His father took over my place, and some strong guys and I went to sit on his father´s seat, so I would not be in the way of the nurse who was helping now with oxygen.
I asked how things were after a while, and he was fortunately fine again.
The other flight went much easier, omly half an hur delay.

It was great getting the pick up in Guatemala city. Between hundred Guatemalian people there was one big guy with a Binkie Dabekaussen sign. Very easy.
There was also a woman in the car waiting and asked me "Esta cansa". I practiced in the airport I would say that I was tired (estoy cansada). She was speaking so fast I couldn´t hear cansada (tired) in it. So I said "no comprendo" So far my great spanish But I was too tired to speak at all and fell asleep on the bumpy roads to my new guesthouse.
