The group has arrived!!!! Gladys and Joy arrived on Sat. and spent the night in the city. My friend Stephanie also had a friend arrive on Sat who stayed at the same hotel so Stephanie road into the city with me and our driver Oswaldo. Everyones flight arrived on time and we were on the road for our 3 hr. journey to Panajachel (Pana) in the beautiful highlands of Guatemala.CK8zGTWXr9c/UI5Wkoz6hGI/AAAAAAAAIP4/-0wvqe4Fkvk/s1600/IMG_5602.JPG" imageanchor="1" style=""> Because everyone brings containers of donations with them along with their personal luggage we needed one of Mayan Families pickup trucks to help haul it all. The Hotel del Lago in Pana is set on Lake Atitlan with views from every room. While we waited for the pickup to arrive with the remainder of the luggage...they had to make a stop on the way back so it took them longer than us....we spent our time enjoying the grounds of the hotel. We all went to dinner and Sharon and Dwight, two of the 3 founders of Mayan Families, joined us for a lovely relaxing evening. It just happened that one of the kitchen staff was the mother of a young man named Dilson who Dave helped with his medical needs until he passed away. It was very touching to see the relationship these two had even though they live hundreds of miles away and in totally different worlds. She was very touched by Dave's generosity. On Monday we will sort the donations and take the appropriate items with us to El Barranco where we will spend the day handing out those donations and seeing the children perform their traditional dances. Should be a great day.
