Guatemala

I'm sorry I've been so bad about writing entries lately! We arrived back in Guatemala two weeks ago after spending almost a week in Oaxaca and then a night in San Cristobal de las Casas. After spending two and a half months at the project before, two weeks felt like almost nothing! It was fun to be back in classroom, but I wish we could have had more time. Leah and I had some conversations about going to Nicaragua and then coming back to Guatemala and spending the rest of the year here and skipping South America. Everyone we talk to advises us to keep going and to come back here for a year after our trip is finished. I feel really torn because I really want to stay, but at the same time I don't want to give up this once in a lifetime trip. I think we will keep going, but with the idea that we'll spend some more time here at the end of our trip.

Tomorrow we are going to spend the night with friends in Guatemala City and then on Tuesday morning we'll take a bus to Nicaragua. As sad as we are to leave Guatemala, we are also excited to get to Nicaragua and see our friends there. Marlon will be flying into Managua on Friday so we'll pick him up and then we're planning on spending next weekend at the orphanage. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the climate change....Nicaragua is soo hot!

P.S. Happy Mother's Mom!
