Another Update

A lot has been going on, as people want to check off everything on their Guatemalan to-do lists. Everyone is making the most of the last few days here. This morning is a free day, so people are shopping and getting one last ice cream cone at Pops.

Yesterday, we went to an area high school to donate 9 big suitcases filled with donated soccer jerseys, balls, shinguards, and more cleats than I have ever seen in one place. The donated equipment filled the small administrative office.

We got a warm welcome from the students at the school, and the gym teachers organized some friendly games for us - 5 on 5 boys and girls basketball, and a massive soccer game. The entire time it was drizzling and chilly outside, but everyone played well. The students got to try out some spanish with the Guatemalan students, and some of the students practiced a little English with us.

This afternoon we have an end-of-the-trip party at the school. Then tomorrow we're off to Antigua for part of the weekend, then it's just a short ride to the airport in Guatemala City on Sunday.
