After a long bus ride, a few hours in the airport in LA, a night flight, Fernando, the director for Students International,  picked us up in Guatemala CIty. We arrived  yesterday and are already getting adjusted to our host famlies, learning directions and  everyone arrived at school this morning safe and sound! We are all within walking distance to the school and all the students are with their one on one teachers now for class this morning. We are in 5 different homes, as 2 more girls arrived yesterday, Hannah Anderson came from Costa Rica, and Emily Sullivan. my niece, arrived from Iowa.  There are now 14 of us here and my daughter is also here with her boyfriend! We ate all together at Mono Loco (traditional dining experience with great Nachos and guacamole!) in the afternoon, and visited the famous, new elaborate McDonalds with courtyard and fountain and the mercado as well. What a new experience for many, and such a joy to see all of us together! Prayers for all of you back home and we ask that you pray for us as well. :)
