Parents arrive in Guatemala!

Bienvenidos Mom and Dad!! Welcome to Guatemala!
This was Mom and Dad as I spotted them coming out of the airport.

We had a real nice shuttle driver, Jaime. I will get him to take us back to the airport in a couple of weeks.

We spent the night in Antigua at the Aurora Hotel. It is a nice hotel but unfortunately that city block had problems with water last night so there were no showers.......or water. During the night it was repaired so we had cool showers this morning. We had a continental breakfast that was really good, loaded the truck and headed for Santa Cruz.

We made one stop so see my Spanish teacher and her children. They are doing ok but are very sad. They still have the Christmas tree up that we went shopping for last year. Yes, it is artificial :)

The drive was pretty and it was a clear day. This photo is of a volcano and a look at Late Atitlan.

I took mom and dad to their hotel to let them get settled a little and then returned for them to go to Church. People were very friendly even though there is a language barrier. Josefina's mom invited us for dinner tomorrow night so we will go there in the evening.

It is good to have them here. I think they will enjoy the two weeks and enjoy seeing the work that is being done.
