Thanksgiving travels!

Since Allan had an interview in the good ole USofA during Thanksgiving, I decided to go with some of the other teachers to Guatemala again, but this time to Antigua and Lake Atilan. It was a pretty sweet trip and we saw some cool things (like always). Below are some pictures and short stories of my travels :)


This is the famous arch of Antigua...and it really was beautiful! There used to be a convent there and the arch helped to mark where the convent was for people!



We spent 2 nights in Antigua and then headed to Lake Atilan. A group of us signed up for a hike starting at 4 am...thats right...4 in the morning. It was dark. and scary. We had 2 flashlights. I only fell once. But it was totally worth it. Check out the photos below. God is so creative. The sunrise was gorgeous! and it was nice to have a workout done before 630am.


This is Beth and me when we first arrived to the top! :)


Andddd we got to see a Volcano spurt some smoke :)


After the hike, we walked to a little village on the side of the mountain because it was market day there. And boy was it market day. Wow. It was really fun to see though. They were even selling the little chickens below :) How cute.



And....probably my favorite thing about the whole trip was finding these in the supermarket in Antigua. In the USA we sell frozen pizzas. In Honduras, they sell frozen pupusas, which are one of the most commonly made food here (pupusas are cheese, or bean, or chicken, or other type of food or a combination of all of the above-filled tortillas) .
