I'm leeeeavin' on a jet plane






So here a few pictures of the places that I will going to...starting on Monday. That's right....my big trip is almost here. Dad, Aynsley and I will be flying out of Atlanta on Monday and will catch a plane small enough to fit maybe the 3 of us over to Tikal, the ancient jungle ruins of the Mayan Indians (that would be the first picture). We will be heading to the area of Chichicastenango, where we will be working at a mobile medical clinic. Aynsley will be assisting Dad, while I will be translating for everyone. Along with working there, Chichi has the largest market(the 2nd picture) where you can buy authentic woven goods (for those of you who have been to the market in La Bufadora, Mexico, this one wins hands down). I will be staying down there longer than Dad and Aynsley. For 11 days, I will be down there without really knowing anyone and will be staying in Antigua, Guatemala with a family. Antigua is shown in the other two pictures, one with the big mountain behind it. I will be attending language school there to improve my medical knowledge. The last week I will be translating again for a different medical team, this one being an eye surgery team. Anyway, I will be blogging as much as I can while I am down there, and hopefully posting some pictures, but who knows what will happen. Please keep me in your prayers that the trip will be safe and that I will survive my time down there alone. I'm a little nervous about it. Also, pray for those that we will be helping down there. Adios y Dios les bendiga!
