The past 24 hours have been a whirlwind for us! Send off dinner at Papa Passero's, girls soccer winning the state championship, airport at midnight, flight at 3, land at 6:00 am.
However, we are safely in Guatemala and dove right into things. We jumped on the bus and went down into the neighborhoods where we'll be working. The different neighborhoods had welcome receptions for us--complete with the traditional Guatemalan fireworks and tasty tostadas (baked tortillas with guacamole and cheese). It was great to meet and interact with the people whom we'll be working alongside.
Thankfully, we have the afternoon to rest and recoup before we attack the job sites tomorrow. More to come!
