Today was a great sunny day!! We are a complete group now minus some luggage, but we are all together. Today we visited a village called El Barranco where the children put on traditional dances and a program. It was great! We gave out donations and interacted with the people. Following lunch we headed to the ziplines (some traveling Guatemala style)! The team had a blast flying down 8 lines and making it safely to the bottom. Tonight we go to dinner with the staff of Mayan Families and eat a traditional Guatemala meal (pizza for the kids!). Tomorrow we'll start our work projects.
What a great sunny day! Love the pictures!
