Hello all, We made it to the base here in Guatemala, safe and sound, finally. We had a very nice meal and got to take showers,and meet new people. The roads here in need some MAJOR work – I cannot describe how bad they are. Dan(head dude) said they put new tires on every 2 years of they last that long. The road have jagged rocks popping through the ground. According to Dave(another leader) that was a mild road! Yikes!!
Also, I know where all the school buses go to die – here! They repaint them, put on lots of chrome, jack up the fronts and haul lots of people!! And I’m sooo thankful for Dan’s driving because people are crazy drivers, not too mention the motor cycles going in between the cars, trucks, and the 1 semi truck we saw. Tomorrow we will be going out to a clinic and help out.
Our last group left on time from Houston(6:50 pm) so will get in hopefully on time- it took us about 1 1/2 hours from the airport to get to the base. There are about 10 people coming in on that flight. Well, I am about done for the night – it’s been a long 2 days. God is Great!! We are here safe, happy, and healthy!
