Cultural and Team Bonding Day

Today was a cultural and team bonding day where we visited El Barranco.  While there, the kids entertained us with several traditional Guatemalan dances and then included us in "The Monkey Dance".  Afterwards, we handed out shoes to excited kids.  One of the more impressive things to see was all of the kids in our group just as excited to hand out shoes!  They were the first ones in the building to start work!

Fun for all on the Zip lines!





Mode of transportation:

Lake Aititlan

You may all recognize this sign from iit's shape and color.  It is a pretty universal synbol to STOP.  Here it is merely considered optional.  Also, a green light means everyone start honking your horn!


If you make it past the optional stop signs and honking horns, you eventually get to see Gods great creations:

We arrived safe!

We are here!!!  Everything went very smooth...everyone made connections, no bags lost.  We drove to our final destination with no problems.  Everyone is pretty wiped out.  Tomorrow is our cultural day.  We are looking forward to that, especially the zip lines!  We will try to post pictures tomorrow. 

Rain...well, it did rain here but not until we arrived and were at dinner.  Yea!  We'll hope for similar days this week.
