We got an early start today, waking up at 5 am. After a short bus ride to Guatemala City, it was finally time to board the plane and head back to the greatest country in the world. We arrived in Dallas and ate a delicious meal at Champ's Sports Bar. We played cards and told stories from the trip during our long layover. Now as we fly back to DC, we are all killing time reading and listening to iPods.
Though we all look forward to going home, the friends and knowledge we gained in Guatemala will leave a lasting impression. Jack, Mollie, and Davis each plan to continue to communicate with the kids David, Dennis, and Juana from their respective work sites.
We made far more progress on the houses than I expected. Although I was skeptical about how much we would help, I feel we really did make a difference. Getting to know the kids and workers at our site was the highlight of my trip and helped me realize how much can be communicated even through language barriers. As everyone else would agree, the trip was a great experience and one I will not soon forget.
