FIRST IMPRESSIONS (Cindy)

I have to say that when i first arrived in guatemala it felt really weird and unreal. I really wasn´t that into it though because i was so tired. We met the guy who was taking us around when we first got to guatemala city and his name is carlos and he´s really nice. When we got there we were picked up in a busted little van and it went so slow it took us like an hour to get to guatamala city to antigua. When we got to antigua it looked really cute and very touristic i liked it a lot we went to go eat and were walking around and visited different sites but i was so tired it was a little hard to enjoy but it was still fun.
After, we left to Xela which took us like 5-6 hours in our little van to get there it was really uncomfortable and we all were trying to get in some sleep. We were suppoose to be in zela at 3 but ended up getting there at 9 and going to bed at 12-1 and wakind up at 6 which was not cool but after i showered i felt refreshed and awake.
After breakfast we went to a school which was a lot of fun we met the principal a teadher and some students. We were talking about the edu. System and looking at the school and after we all started to play soccer which was a lot of fun. After we left the school the people we met at the school went with us to go look at people making things out of glass which was crazy but really cool.then we left to go see indeginious women make clothes and stuff like that. Then we went to look at some statue of a guy that was like a leader to some people. Then later in the day we went to a cemetary which was really sad.
Over all though the trip has been really cool i enjoy seeing different things and being in a new enviornment and getting to know new people. Well i´ll keep in touch later in the trip! *cindy
