Well I made it! I arrived in Guatemala City on Monday and stayed there a couple nights at the CGE House. I am currently in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala where I will be living with a host family. Thew drive here was so amazing! We drove around in the montains and the scenery was sweet! There were so many little communities along the way, and women walking alot the road carrying things on their heads. The culture here is definately different, in the plaza ther were goats where people just go up and fill up their milk bottles straight out of the cow!

Overall Guatemala is gorgeous! There are a ton of mountains and valleys. There is an active volcano right next to the town we are in now-it has smoke coming out of it and it is really sweet. In Guatemala City I met my group that I will be spending the next four months with. Everyone seems supper cool. We also toured the city and heard a coupe speakers. We are learning alot about the history of Guatemala. Guatemala just ended a 36 year civil war ten years aogo. It is interesting learning about the political history of Guatemala and how closely tied it is with US intervention.
I know i use the word amazing alot but it accurately describes this city!
