We made it safely to Jacaltenango. After our 4 hour flight that left around 3:30 a.m. and our 8.5 hour bus ride, we were welcomed with open arms by the Rojas family. We did stop and have breakfast at the same restaurant we ate at last year. The rickety bridge and beautiful koi pond is gone. It got damaged this year from the severe rains. As we drove through the mountains, we saw the damage that was done by mudslides. A lot of it still needs to be cleaned up. The road makes sudden detours around the huge piles of mud and rock.
After we settled in to our rooms at the pensione, some of us walked the streets while others took a little nap.
We had a delicious meal together with our wonderful friends from Bay Pres and Claudia Caballeros, our in country coordinator. A surprise birthday cake was delivered to our table for Tom Peate and Cathy Nichols.
It´s time to say good night and get ready for our busy days ahead of us. We will begin the installation at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow and the health and hygiene class will begin at 1:00.
Buenas Noches.
