Fun in the Sun - Puerto San Jose

We traveled by bus from Chiquimula to Guatemala City. It was an interesting bus ride. We all felt as though we were risking life and limb. The bus driver seemed unconcerned with the sharp turns and the high speeds at which the bus was travelling. We were tossed around the bus like little rag dolls. Whenever the bus stopped to pick up or drop off passengers, vendors would enter the bus selling food and beverages. It was a very interesting bus ride.

But three hours later we arrived in Guatemala City where we were warmly greeted by Roberto Fuentes and Adrien Caceres. They had been warned of the large amount of luggage with which we traveled so they brought large vehicles. We went to Roberto's house where his wife prepared us a wonderful lunch. We then met up with the GSE team from District 5080.

The two teams then traveled to Puerto San Jose for a weekend at the beach. It was our first planned beach time that we actually saw the sun. Yes - I said SUN!! The beach was wonderful. There was black volcano sand, blue water, white waves and SUN. Of course this now means that I have red legs. On Sunday evening we traveled back to Guatemala City - and the cold weather - where we enjoyed another wonderful mean prepared by Roberto's wife. The food is wonderful and I may never leave.
