Guatemalan travels...

ARGH!! I can't quite get this uploading photos thing figured out.... they always end up in COMPLETELY the wrong order... but none the less... here are some photos from Guatemala... one of my new favorite places on EARTH.

***THoughts on the trip itself coming soon... for now... just pics.

The arch is north of the square. I am usually really good with directions... but for some reason I couldn't figure out Antigua to SAVE MY LIFE. We went 3 times by this arch... and every time I was surprised to see it because I didn't think that was the part of the city we were in! ARGH!

A little boy at Mayra's feeding program/school. This was a really cool program that started as a Saturday morning meal for some local children and has developed into 80 children in school every day (and getting meals!).

This is Josue, a little boy at Amor del Nino... what a cutie...

This is Stephanie. She makes fish lips when you talk to her... she also has the BIGGEST eyes. So cute!



This is Monica. Dawn and I decided that Dayton was not ready for Monica, so we couldn't bring her home... but man would we love to... she is hilarious... and she never stops. We spent most of the time at Amor del Nino telling Monica no... but she really didn't care, she did it anyway! (and we loved it!)

A volcano... Fuego I believe.

This is Brenda, a child living at Hermano Pedro. Love her. (And she was covered in a blanket from Fiesta VBS, which we did at Sulphur Grove a few years ago. I thought that was pretty cool! Its not the one we made, but it could be!)

These sawdust artworks fill the streets of Guatemala on the Sundays in Lent. THey are BEAUTIFUL. Apparently on Good Friday they are literally EVERYWHERE... wish I could have been there to see that.

The biggest volcano around the city (of the three), luckily it is extinct, it is HUGE!

There you have it... Antigua... quite a place!
