We are here! We are alive and well. Our plane safely touched down on Wednesday into a warm and tropical feeling Guatemala City. We loaded our luggage and boarded our bus to head to our first stop in Guatemala, McDonald’s! Hey, if you have to eat healthy and on the road, it may as well be McDonald’s I am right? After this delicious meal on bus wheels, we continued to travel outside Guatemala City to a camp in the rural mountains. It was here that we had the opportunity to reconnect with the people that are Site One! We spent four days at this camp, days well spent laughing, playing Frisbee, resting and getting re-acquainted with the crazy, compassionate people we know and love.
However there is this wall that divided us, the camp, from the rest of Guatemala, and while it was there for a reason, it had certainly helped to create an itch in us to truly experience Guatemala. We couldn’t help but peer over the wall and wonder at what was (and is) to come. Curiosity, adventure and even some nerves might have been grabbing hold of us.
The adventure has come; we head to our host families today. Antigua is in the background of this shot, and our Spanish experience is only just about to begin.
