“What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”

Finally Made It

It only took twenty six hours but we've finally gotten to San Lucas. The plane rides and multiple five hour lay overs sucked, but I guess it's all part of the experience. The food and coffee here is really good. We are also receiving a lot of gifts (homework) which is keeping us occupied. I don't know what to write so i'll just add more later.

    Hey everyone thank you for the comments!
    @Ben - Guatemala is very different from what I am used to. The city is unbelievable. The traffic is crazy! There are people on bikes speeding through the median, trucks are filled with tires and other odd objects with what looks like nothing holding them. Hawaii and Guatemala are alike in temperature, other then that they seem very different

    @Aubrie - I think the jokes our group makes is the best part so far. Everyone cracks the lamest jokes but they are still really funny.

    Hey Dad and Mom, thanks for the comments. I am going to try and call you guys every other night because of the high call prices.
