Nothing much new to report tonight... We spent most of the day today driving Matt's parents to their return flight out of Guatemala City. It was sad to see them go, but we're so happy and thankful that they were able to share this life here with us for the last 12 days! Can't wait for the rest of y'all to come down for the "grand tour"...
Since they are better shutterbugs than us, here are three of our favorite pictures from their visit. The first is the four of us at Lake Atitlan, a beautiful resort town which we have written about before (The same hotel where we stayed for our anniversary). The three peaks you see in the background are all volcanoes.
What a spectacular view!
The second shot is from last week's trip to Antigua with the cleft palate families... This boy's name is Fredy, and we just couldn't resist his smile the whole time we were with him. He and his parents were probably the poorest of the poor on this trip, but yet among the happiest.
The last one is a panoramic shot from Dad Bell's camera of the view just outside our front door. The large building is the Hospital, with the Pepsi signs on the cafeteria right beside it. We have not been brave enough to date to sample their wares. You can also see the soccer field in our front yard and the guarded gate at the end of the driveway. The ER is at the end of the hospital closest to our front door, which really helps with noise control, of course!
Tomorrow we are off to clinic again at Chicabracan, which should be pretty busy since we missed last time for the All Saints Day/"Day of the Dead" holiday. Wish us luck. We should have more stories to tell by then...
