our first day!

Hey everyone!!! I AM IN GUATEMALA!!! and its pretty awesome. so me and abbey did end up staying up all night till our flight this morning so we were both pretty exhausted, but now that i'm here i'm so excited that i dont know that i could nap if i tried. We met Natalie (our other roommate) at the airport in Miami and luckily we were all on the same flight so we got a chance to talk to here and kind of get to know her and shes pretty awesome. i think we're gonna have some fun.

Once we left the airport there was no question that i am definitely gonna be learning some spanish. our driver and house guard both only speak spanish so luckily i have someone to practice with and i was able to kind-of communicate with them, kind of. it will get better, i know it.

but the homebase is awesome!! me, abbey and natalie are all in the same room and we've spent the past couple hours unpacking our stuff and we actually fit it all! anddd now i gotta go eat!

*****UPDATE*******

so i got busy after dinner meeting all the other CCS volunteers and forgot to post BUT it is now 7:30 in the morning and i cant sleep...go figure, so nows as good a time as any. After dinner last night, we went out to a couple of local restaurants as a group and tried some local specials, and i think we"re going to be just fine here :) well im gonna go eat breakfast! later.
