All of the roads and sidewalks in Antigua are made of stone. It is pretty but can make for some treacherous walking conditions! I am amazed that a lot of Guatemalan women wear high heels. I am sticking to my flipflops and tennis shoes for now.
There are many hardworking people in Guatemala. I couldn't believe this man who carried a heavy dresser on his back, a rope across his forehead bearing the brunt of the weight. I have no idea where he came from or how many miles he carried that piece of furniture.
This is the small patio area that is right outside our room in our host family's home. The umbrella on the table is about 6 feet high and takes up most of the patio area. Our host mother told Daniel that it is a good exercise for his back having to duck so much.
This is the street that we live on.

Dad, these two shots are for you. This is what I was trying to describe to you. When you enter the front door of our host family's home from the street, you enter onto a tile driveway. There are about three cars and four motorcycles that park here at night. To the right of the picture is the medical clinic. In the back is the home. The door that is slightly open above the red car leads to our host family's part of the home. The three doors on the second floor are their bedrooms.

Hi Daniel and Kara. It's Lisa Rose, John W's sister. There was a wonderful segment/opportunity that might be perfect for you all on the CBS Evening News last night. Here's the link. I encourage you to check it out. It's called the Memory Project.
