Hello again from guatemala. Just passing day 2 with everyone still alive and just a little damp. We started off bright and early at our 7:30 breakfast after two survived their cold showers (why they took cold showers ? Maybe they haven't relized yet that the hot and cold knobs are switched here.) The group bonding began after our breakfast during our wait for the bus. The 10 of us, Bonnie, Laura, and Papa Juan expirenced our first taste of Guatemala traffic during our commute to the central Pastoral de attencion al migracion in zone 2 of the city. In the process only one bus seat was broken (oh CJ). Once we arrived we met Carlos, one of the managers of the center. He explained to us the purpose of the center, to serve the migrant workers and provide basic services. Carlos also explained some of the reasons behind the large population of migrant people and the extreme poverty present in many central American communities. Afterwards we once again headed towards the bus, but only after locking ourselfs out of the bathroom. Our next activity took place in the center of the city. We "plunged" into the culture by splitting into groups and exploring the city. We perfected our awesome Spanish skills (wait, isn't amable some sort of pineapple juice?) and also conversed with many of the locals. Since most of us are incapable of actually reading a map, we learned quite well how to ask questions. Our next stop was the palacio national and central cathedral. We also learned about the weather of Guatemala during our run through the torrential downpour. Back at our home-sweet-home Semillas we camped out in our bunkrooms and questioned the whereabouts of Kelly and Abby. Before dinner we figured out the best ways to fall out of the top bunk, tp'd Laura's bed, and sent each other secret love notes and flowers (hmmmm....) Kelly and Abby eventually did arrive, but only after visiting a Guatemalan McDonalds. Anyways we all good and pigging out on yummy food. Adios for now - Lily Q.
