Hola.......We have arrived....after a very long day and night. We arrived in Atlanta at 5:00 (3:00) am , very spacey. The only place open at the airport at that hour was MacDonalds. Some went to the gate and sleeped on the floor for another hour or two...I recommend that and then have a good cup of coffee and some breakfast. Another 3 plus hour to Guatemala City and your adventures begin. It is wonderful and now Pat will give you the next installment.

Everything worked as planned with all of our luggage in tact and Luis there to meet us with two vans, one for the luggage and one for the adventure travelers. We wound our way through Guatemala City which is huge. Then we got into the country side which is filled with jungled areas, volcanos....all very lush and green. We understood why shortly as it is the rainy season and we drove through rain several different times. Arriving at Hotel Volcano we met our lovely family. We walked around a bit to Lake Attitlan which is to the north of San Lucas Tomilan. San Lucas is beautifully surrounded by the lake and volcanos with clouds moving across them. It has a mysterious and peaceful feel. The church was preparing for a Saturday wedding. It feels simple and lovely and so different from our culture. A great dinner was served by the host family and then I think everyone enjoyed a long and well deserved nights sleep.Pat Wright
