Hola la
familia y amigos!
Today
concluded our second day in San Lucas. We started the day with breakfast at the
mission and team Maggie and Caitlin worked through dish duty with great
teamwork skills and positive energy.
After
breakfast, we took to Lake Atitlan for our “tourist” day, taking in the
beautiful scenery via tour boats on our way to some villages across the lake.
We
spent the late morning and afternoon enjoying the shops, food and people of
Panajachel and San Antonio. Their friendly faces and genuine joy made lasting
impressions on each member of our group.
In
San Antonio, Paulina gave us a demonstration on how the women make the
beautiful blankets, scarves, and other woven accessories that they sell in
their joint shop.
After
our eventful day, we returned to San Lucas for a late afternoon siesta followed
by dinner at the mission and a trip to the local ice cream shop for an after
dinner sweet treat.
After
returning to our hotel, we gathered together to journal and reflect on our busy
day. Today was a great day full of group bonding that will follow through in
our days of volunteering to come. We look forward to an eventful upcoming week full
of friendship, service and spirit in the beautiful San Lucas, Guatemala.
