We have now offically settled into our short time home in Guatemala. The idea of eating beans and corn tortillas at every meal is no longer so bad and we look forward to the variations we can give to that dish with the local vegtables we buy.
This past week we have been working on the water at the apartments, which with only a few snags will be done very shortly. Besides the slight smell of chlorine in the water is just fine to drink. All that is left on that part of the project is to train the maintence man, Don Obilino how to operate the system when we leave. We will be working with throughout the time we are here to assure that he is confident.
The planning for the hospital system is just beginning, with Aaron and Micheal in charge of that. The work should start probably beginning next week.
We have started to get up early before breakfast and taking hikes into the mountains surrounding the city. It is such a great way to wake up and start your day, it has really been helping me to get energized for the day. Since for the past week we have felt sort of groggy which they say is because we not used to the altitude yet. But everyday we feel a little better. The views from the hikes are amazing, we took the group photo from the first hike we took.
Much Love and miss you all
Aaron and Marla
