S'mores!!!

Fire, s'mores, and fun at the new fire pit on the coffee farm in Agua Dulce.

Coffee Talk

Learning about coffee with Edwin!!

Flexible

Today we are being reminded to be flexible. The road to Agua Dulce is currently shut down, so our plans for today have changed slightly. We are going to spend some time in Huehue - at the market and such and then head over to the Mayan ruins and the blanket factory. Our hope is that the road is open by then so we can head over to the coffee farm!

Everyone is doing great with the change of plans and everyone remains in high spirits. Jan is feeling a lot better today and she is looking forward to all of our adventures!

Kazoo in Guatemala

Traffic Jam!!

In traffic

We are traveling on the Pan American Highway from Guatemala City to HuehueTenango and it is normally a wonderful ride. But today we are stuck in traffic and have been for about 45 minutes. We are hearing there is some sort of demonstration or protest about 3km ahead. We won't know until we actually drive past whatever is stopping the traffic.

On the bright side - the weather is absolutely wonderful and we are having a great time relaxing and having a good time with each other. Its also fun to see the vendors coming up the cars selling all sorts of things - peanuts, dried plantains, fresh fruit, phone chargers, CDs, etc.

First night in Guatemala

We just awoke from our first night's sleep in Guatemala. It was absolutely amazing to put our heads on pillows and actually sleep after that long day of traveling yesterday.

I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day. We will soon have breakfast and then head out to Huehue.
