We arrived safely and on schdule late last night in the guatemala
airport! We clapped loudly as the jet touched down and made it through
customs without much trouble. By our last flight I no longer had to
hold Coby´s hand during take offs and landings.
Adriana Koehn, our travel guide, and Anthony Sanchez, the MCC Guate
Country rep., taxied us to Semilla. As always, driving in Guatemala
was an experience.
We were tired, but excited. We unpacked and had a group meeting while
snacking on Banitos, choc covered frozen half bannanas with a popsicle
stick inside. As we shared our hopes and anitcipations about the trip
I was impressed with some of the comments of the students. This will
be a great trip!
I was unable to use the computers last night as they were down. Sorry
about the wait, I know that parents want to know that we arrived safe
and sound, which we did!
This morning we were served a typical guatemalan breakfast, fijoles
(beans), quezo fresca (a type of feta cheese that they eat on beans),
huevos (egss), papaya, and melon (a golden type of honeydew melon.
Properly eaten, this should all be sprinkled with a healthy dose of ik
(pronounned eek wiht much gusto, chili pepper).
Spirits are high, health is good, group dynamics are healthy and we are
excited to begin the day exploring this city that has already
mezmorized us. Talk to you soon.
Peace,
Ryan
