Guate Pictures...Finally!!

This was in a Cathedral we visited on our last day. Since it was right before Easter, they had all kinds of things out celebrating Holy Week. This was made completely from produce and there were real birds in the cages. It smelled kind of funny in there...I think the food had been there a while!
Our first view of Panajachel. It was amazing how much more this view meant as we were driving away at the end of the week.
I miss these mountains!!
Adorable.
Volcano :-)
We couldn't ever decide if that was clouds or smoke. But we're pretty sure it was smoke.
I could smell the onions in this field from where I was standing way above it.
Floating dock...nice break after a long day walking around the town
La Clinica!! This is where the clinic is now built in Patanatic. Look at Heart to Heart's page on facebook for more recent pictures. I'm so excited it's getting closer to being done!
This is a partial view of Patanatic from the clinic site. You can see Panajachel in the valley in the background.
Probably not the smartest idea we've ever had...sticking our fingers in a sharp-beaked-bird's cage. This is Deana, my "older sister" on the trip. One of our translators was convinced we had to be related!
The boys made a game out of the rocks on the beach in Panajachel. I think a couple of them actually hit the buoy in the water!
Malorri and Rebecca...love these girls
Aura was one of our Spanish to Maya translators. She knows all three of the Maya languages in the area and is such a sweetheart. We had fun trying to communicate with my broken Spanish and the English she knew. We helped each other learn a lot though!
We ate in our hotel lobby for most of our meals. The servers were amazing and the food was incredible. Chicken and rice DID get a little hard to eat for two meals a day by the end of the trip though...
The three on the left were all from MNU...Mike, Becca, and Rob. Jerry was a retired dentist who works with Heart to Heart and spent a lot of time with our team. He continually cracked us up and was a big help with seeing the vision for the clinic.
Alstromeria, my new favorite kind of flower. They come in all different colors and have little speckles on them!
