Our internet is very spotty, but here we go!
Today was our travel day. We were so blessed at every leg of our trip. The day in all aspects was wonderful.
We met at the airport bright and early. Our flight left on time. One stop in Miami and we were on our way to Guatemala City.
Our very, very early morning flight.
Amy is our Tech Leader at Shepherd of the Lakes. What a perfect store for her in Miami! Yes, she is always on the go,
The sights into Guatemala City were incredible. There are numerous volcanic mountain ranges in the area. The city is at 5000 elevation.
We are waiting for Debby and Denny to get through customs. They took care of some paperwork. More stories to come...
All our luggage and all of us safely aboard our bus. Ready for the 3+ hour trip to our location.
After stopping for lunch, we headed towards Zaccappa where we are staying.
We drove through the city and learned about some of the history. Our wonderful guide and host for the week, Nury, provided us colorful stories about buildings, culture, and the wonderful people of Guatemala.
Saturdays are Tomale days, and if someone hangsa red bag on their porch that means they made enough to sell.At some of the city streets there were children performing. This lovely girl had such a great smile. We gave her a tip.
The roads were winding but relatively good... A few rock slides here and there, and lots of motorcycles driving like crazy! We had beautiful views of the countryside. We went from an altitude of 5000 ft up and down and ended at 100 ft altitude.
After unpacking, dinner and devotions were headed to our rooms. Kelly and Margie are turning in for the night.
