Arrival

We have just arrived here in Guatemala and I am so excited. The airport is like any third world country airport. It has small hallways and not much to see; it is incomparable with Vancouver's airport and Atlanta's airport. There were a lot of people, all talking in their foreign language. We exit the airport doors to find Bob and Juan Carlos (Elizabeth's husband) waiting outside and ready to go. Juan Carlos starts driving the many passenger van towards the supermarket weaving through three lanes of thick, congested traffic. They are not as crazy as Mexico, but still a bit scary. We arrive at the super market to pick up some goods on the way home. It was quite similar to the well Canadian known Walmart. Once shopping was completed we made way to our new home in Antigua. It was supposed to be a forty-five minute drive from the airport, but we got stuck in a forty-five minute long traffic jam. It was not fun as Michelle, Shawn, Ruth, John, and I had been up for pretty much 36 hours straight, making it not the greatest ride home. We soon enough made it to our new home, and I spent a good two hours unpacking. We had our first Guatemalan supper that night; it was some delicious chicken chow mien. It felt good to arrive at our new home. It is awesome to get away from my parents (hahaha) and go live with my two best friends. It is like I'm living with my two best friends, living in paradise, doing what I love to do.
