Well, we're here!
Buenos Dias...Donde esta el bano?
etc.
| We arrived at noon, exhausted from an all night bus ride and then 6 or so hours with Continental. We were met by Wally and Cesar who brought us to a small Baptist Retreat Center in Guatemala city. Weather has been unseasonably cool. Kara, above, demonstrates the most effective entrance technique to an unheated pool. |

| We deeply miss Tim and Jan who were in an automobile accident and not able to join us. We're pretty sure everyone else is here. Parents may want to check. |

| The tour of Guatemala city was an eye opener. After seeing the huge relief map and finding the village in which they would be living, nestled in amoung 3 volcanos, we visited the National Palace on the center square. It has been 3 years now since the peace iniciative was signed here, and every day at 11am, a line of soldiers marches in to lay a fresh flower on the statue of the hands shown above. It usually takes Canadians a while to get used to the many soldiers and weapons on display and active street duty. |
