It has been an awesome two days. I will keep my words short and choose to fill this blog with pictures/videos. They are below.
Trips like this always remind me of what is important. I have been overwhelmed by the experience thus far in such a positive way. Everyone is thinking critically about why they are here, what it means to be here, and how we can really begin to understand Guatemala and the people of San Lucas. "Fall in love. Stay in love. And it will determine everything."
Enjoy the pictures!

In front of the Women's Center (what an incredible place that just opened up this year after being in construction for over a decade)

Quitney thinks, Cody and Melissa read "Silence on the Mountain"
On our way home from visiting Santiago and Panajachel!

So, we waited an hour for the video to upload, but we had no success. We'll try again another time. I want to let the students write!
Adios!

ReplyDeleteLove, love. loved seeing the pictures! For some funny reason my vision of you staying in a hotel is not the picture that was posted. Thank you for the posts. We look forward to each and everyone! Have fun and keep learning.
Love and Aloha,

Fantastic pictures. So glad to hear the kids are learning and reflecting. Anxious to hear about the talk the kids are listening to. I am so thankful that you and Erin were dedicated and determined enough to get this trip planned and executed for these kids. This adventure will last their entire lives.
