It's been a busy weekend for us in Guatemala. Saturday morning, some of the nurses woke up bright and early to go zip lining in the mountains. The girls who went said it was a scary experience--but certainly worth the trip! Not too many people in the world can say that they've gone zip lining on a volcano.

After arriving in Chichi, we checked into our cute little hotel and had a nice dinner as a group. Between our Spanish classes, separate homestays and clinical visits, it's hard for us to get the entire group together, so it was wonderful to share each other's company again. We went to bed early so we could be rested up and ready to tackle Chichi.
This morning, it was up and at 'em! We started the day with a two hour tour of Chichi, where we got to hike up one of the smaller hills and look at a Mayan ceremonial spot. Something I find truly wonderful about this culture is how they've blended some of their religions together. The Catholic church here has a Mayan alter in it, and the Mayan ceremonial spot had crosses in it.

After another nice dinner together, it was back to work--we all have homework to finish up for class tomorrow. In the morning, we're up bright and early to shadow some local midwives, then it's back to class.
Buenos Noches!
