Everyone arrived safe and sound to Guatemala. We got everyone from the airport and then picked up the 3 that spent the night at the Hotel Barcelo. Also my friend Lucy who lives in Guat. City came to welcome us to her beautiful country and bring goodies to eat from her shop.
The ride to Pana was uneventful but a bit adventurous. The roads have been greatly damaged from all the weather causing many mud and rock (boulder!!!) slides. Our most excellent driver, Geovanni did a wonderful job getting us through.
We got our tubs unloaded at MF office and everyone checked into the hotel. Sharon and Dwight then had us all to there home to celebrate our arrival and my birthday. Those who wanted got the chance to try their hand at making tortillas.

It is much harder than it looks. Since this is a very long day by the time dinner was over everyone was ready to hit the sack.
Today we hopefully head out to El Barranco. Everything we do on this trip will be dependent on the weather and how the roads hold up. "God willing and the creek don't rise" has become a most accurate quote for this trip.
