Tanda and Ryan here checking in. Just as an update, we have safely crossed the border into Guatemala. We are currently with our home-stay families and settling in. We got a nice tour of Las Vinas, and tomorrow we will be meeting at the school in town to learn more about our project and get started on it. Jordan Rose got really excited after he saw the basketball court in town. Mia's eyes glowed when she saw the soccer field. Cecily almost had an accident after our warm firework welcome, which sounded like gun shots. Although it scared all of us, it was very cool. The introduction between the kids and the families was very exciting. It was great to see the joy on everyone's face as they all got acquainted and headed off to their individual homes.

I'm enjoying your blog, my intrepid travelers! I hope you all have great homestays and enjoy the challenges of communicating and of coming to understand how your families live. I encourage you to observe closely and to resist the urge to leap to conclusions about things you can only partially understand. The cave adventure and the whole Belize experience sounds like great fun. I'm looking forward to seeing photos of the village and of the families you are staying with. Be safe, be thoughtful, and have a blast!

Hi Jordan O. (The other Jordan!)
You could have been here with us on the beach in Maarten but instead you chose the jungles of Guatemala. We couldn't be more proud. You've always been independent and forged your own path. We hope you are having a great time and that the sleep sack keeps the bugs off at night!
Thanks to all for the summaries of the days events.
