We spent some time at the Lake...relaxing, eating, reading in the hammock, kayaking- my favorite! She got to experience the chicken buses. She was a great traveler.
We hiked PACAYA!! If you religiuos blog followers remember, I hiked Pacaya about a month ago; however, this trek was much more difficult!! Maybe the wind or the route?!
PC celebrated it's 50 year anniversary! PC has been in Guatemala for 48 years. We had a nice, formal ceremony at the ambassador's house in Guatemala City. A new group of 52 volunteers swore in. The photo is some friends from my training group. My friend in the middle, Dirk, returned from seven months of medical leave.

The youth development group had an excellent training with the supervisor and directors from each school, explaining the Life Skills program in relation to the cirriculum. It was a very successful training. My supervisor and directors have a much better understanding of the program and my role.
