Just got back a few days ago from an amazing trip to Guatemala! Cristina, Janna and I headed out on an 11 day journey to see some of the most memorable and famous places in the world. We were able to visit Antigua, hike Volcan Pacaya, see one of the most beautiful lakes in the world of Lago de Atitlan, shop in the biggest outdoor market in Central America, swim in the natural limestone pools of Semuc Champey, and climb the famous Mayan ruins in Tikal, Flores. Indigenous men and women, pupusa street food, the pastry lady, the cross hike looking over the city, fresh lemonade sitting on the waters edge, the never ending colors in the market, moto-taxis every few feet, and of course the 16 hours drives between places, all memories I will never forget.

A year of ups and downs im sure are on the way, until now, I have 26 new kids to love!
