In Huehuetenango

So, we are all set in Huehuetenango. The trip was a long one today for sure. flight out of O'Hare at 5:45am and we are just getting ready for bed now. It is 11:06 here, which is 1:06am in Kalamazoo. Other than delayed flights and mechanical issues in Atlanta everything went as planned today. Our group is all really excited to be here and they are even more excited to be out of the vans! The drive from Guatemala Ciy to Huehuetenango is a rough one. It is long, bumpy, curvy and increases in altitude. All of this tends to do wonders to most of our stomachs, but everyone is feeling better now. We did continue the Goethe tradition of sickness though... For dinner we had this amazing rice, chicken and handmade tortillas. It was so good. The adventurous ones in the group even tried the "spicy green sauce". Everyone is completely wiped out and I'm sure we will all crash tonight and sleep really well. Tomorrow we have a busy day as we prepare to paint, exchange money, and see more of Guatemala!
