Living simply here in Guatemala...

We now have our little moka expresso machine which we used alot at the Rainbow gathering...in the distance is Giovanni and Angelo carrying palm fronds to build our shelter from the sun!!

our lovely friends...angelo and fran from italy and chile

beauitful jen from holland in the kitchen at rainbow!

looking slightly wild and tired the morning we made our way home form rainbow!

colourful morning markets....in santitago atitlan...

i love being in a country where men wear embroidered birds and flowers on their shorts!!!


Our new home here in san pedro la laguna, atitlan lake in guatemala...with a beautiful garden, our lovely friends and a gorgeous grandmother!!

yey!! we found our gorgeous friend Pearl again by chance!!! a great chance to form a band!!

this is grandma!! she is 80 years old adn so wonderful, very peaceful and sweet!! when we are lazy and dont feel like cooking over the fire, she cooks for us traditional food....

Grandma has a permanent hunch!!

she loves us!!

in my element designing new clothes with the beautiful fabrics here!

giovanni matches the colourful buses we take!! this was on our way to the chichicastengo markets on sunday...

locals chatting next to awesome street art!





i'm addicted to this groovy fabric, all stitched by hand and taking 3 months for the women to finish...





we love speaking spanish with the ladies...it's their second language too, so it works well!

morning musicwith pearl...

getting dressed up to hit the town with our new band called LOS VAGABUNDOS sin verguenza! the vagabonds without shame!!


band members...accordian playing mapache who is due in a week! and pearl on my mandolin...


this was such a fun photo shoot!! we now have gigs all over the town and needed some photos for publicity so we went all out and had a ball with it!!

the lake and volcanoes make a great background!!





so fun and extravagant!!!



our gorgeous baby princess Iris from California!

giovanni is not unhappy with his role of being the only male in a group of gorgeous and crazy women!!


we met other musicians from italy and had a home made gnocchi lesson from daniele from napoli!! yum!!!
