We Made It!

Hi all,
This very road weary group finally made it to Guatemala City at 5:00am today. 3 plane changeovers; 5 hrs in Denver and 3 in LA (exhausting), no lost luggage (a miracle) and 6 of us bumped to 1st class...Priceless!
We arrived in time at the Dreamer Center to view a graduation ceremony at the school for the 1st and 6th graders - they now have a 2 week break prior to summer session. CUTE kids. Patrick Atkinson happened to be there so he assisted in the orientation. After 6 trips, I am continually amazed at all the wonderful work they do and how the program continues to grow and prosper.
This afternoon, we boarded our tour bus to a nearby village called San Antonio and viewed a presentation by a group of indigenous Mayan women on the traditional customs, weaving/textiles, and the making of torillas/coffee and pepian (a traditional soup). It was wonderful for us all to learn about the very rich tradition and culture of this very colorful group of people and certainly helps us to understand a little more of their lifestyle prior to observing and mingling with them over the next 2 weeks.
We are going to have an early night tonight as we are picked up at 6:30am to go to an outpatient pediatric physical therapy center in the am and a clothing distribution drive in the pm. Should be another very exciting day.
