We all woke up to a wonderful storm still encompassing the country. Fears of mudslides along the highway on the coast forced us to take the three-hour trip from Xela to Guatemala City early rather than at 3 am. We went to the Agua del Pueblo at 9 am and learned more about the operations there. We also watched the ceremony for the new director. Amanda Aceto presented a check to the group and a photo is posted below. We had lunch at the hotel consisting of burgers or fajitas and then continued onto Guatemala City at 3 pm. It was a 5 hour trip. We stopped at a steak house along the way. Upon arrival to the city we got to a new hotel. We had trouble getting the van through the garage and had to all sit in the back to put weight on the rear tires. A picture is posted below. We stayed there the night and woke up to breakfast. We headed to the market for some last minute shopping and are now at the airport boarding the plane. Everyone except a few of us will be heading back to the United States. A group of four will be heading to the Mayan ruins in Tikal and the city of Flores until Sunday. The blog will still be continued until we return.
