Day of Travel in Guatemala
This morning we woke up after spending the night in Guatemala City and went grocery shopping. We purchased basic groceries for the 3 families that we will be building houses for this week. Then we were on the road for most of the day to get to Santiago. The road was in rough condition with many potholes and most of us took Dramamine. It caused us to be drowsy so I think that was why the drive was so quiet. We could just look at everything we passed and think about what we were seeing and how different it was than back home. There were animals like dogs and horses and chickens either in the road or right beside. Most people here really fill up the back of their pickup truck with people and even hang out the sides of open van or bus doors. When we arrived at the hotel in Santiago it was great. We met up with the rest of our team, Tara, Jack, Baudilio, Kristen, and Tracy. After unpacking and having some worship time we ate dinner together. ~ Lillie Warren
