Hello Again Folks!
I am back in Guatemala after a long two day journey home from Belize. We got back around 5:30 Guate time, and we all really enjoyed the cool spring weather that the city has! It was a great rest of the week in Placencia, the beach, and we now are getting prepared to travel again to the southern-most state of Mexico tomorrow morning. We will be there for a week and a half and be living with host families. During this week we will be interacting with the community there and learning more about the coffee finca/cooperative they have created. This is something that I am really passionate about and really want to learn more about. This community has sworn to keep this community from immigrated to the US and keeping jobs/economy there in Mexico. I am looking forward to having this opportunity to experience what it really takes to have my cup of coffee every morning. I will not have internet this whole week, so I will have a lot to say next week.
This community is also quite more rural then the city that we are used to, so pray that my group can handle the more rustic feel. We are all quite excited but nervous at the same time. All is worth it in the end, as long as I do not get malaria or anything else while I am there (everyone knock on wood please!).
Here is to a week of bucket showers and sweaty clothes!
Take Care and God Bless,
Kiersten
