Travel Day!
Today we went to Brookhaven
at about the time we would
head to school. We drove from
there to the Indianapolis airport
on a bus and arrived at about 10.
We stayed there, ate lunch, and
got on our airplane at 11:00 a.m.
That plane would take us to the
Miami Airport. From the Miami
Airport we flew into the Guatemala
City Airport. There, we were picked
up and driven to our hostal.Today is a work day.
On this day we got to go to the
orphanage and meet the kids.
We also started our painting project,
which was the project for the work days.
We painted 3 or 4 of their rooms. That's
pretty much all we did on Tuesday.Work day #2
Today we did basically the same thing we
did on Tuesday. We also got to start to
know the kids better.The going away party!
Today we drove to Burger King with all 26 kids
to hold a going away party for Carmen and Antonio.
They really love fast food there and also extravagant
play places. The play place was the main attraction
for the kids but a clown came in for a half hour to
entertain them. They also had two pinatas to finish
the party!Antigua! Day #1
Ths is the first day we had in Antigua. Antigua
is an old town in Guatemala. It has beatiful architecture
and we got to go to a choolate museum/ factory on this
day. Later that night we swam at the pool at our villas.
Me and Luke also ot sick this night.Antigua Final Day
Today was an exciting day. We got to go to the
market! The market was a jumble of little stalls
and vendors, all of them trying to get you to buy
their stuff. That was also the day we drove back to
our home base near the orphanage.Our final day at the
orphanage.
Today we got to just play
with the kids. It was very
emotional at the end of
the day because we had
to say goodbye. We went
out to eat with David and
Cinthiya that night and said
goodbye to them to.Traveling Home!
So, our plane was
supposed to leave the
Guatemala City Airport
at 6:00 in the morning.
Instead, it got delayed
and we left the airport at
1:30! We were there for
about eight hours. From
there, everything went
smoothly and we got in
bed at midnight that night.
