Finally! I have managed to post a couple pictures of Guatemala! I don´t know how to organize these photos.. but here is a list of what you are looking at (again... please ignore grammatical mistakes and spelling... ):The view of the preschool to the cafeteria. In the back of the picture is the site where we are working. This preschool is immediately adjacent to the largest garbage dump in Central America in Zone 3 of Guatemala City. Some days the smell is stifling! The kids who attend this school are the children of the parents who scavange the garbage dump for recycle-ables.
The little girl is sitting outside of her house looking up at the roof of the school where we are standing looking at the neighborhood.
There is a pic of the children of the preschool in "Guate" (slang for guatemala city)
There are a couple pics of the garbage dump with the vultures lurking about.
The bus is the "chicken bus" we take to Guate... it takes an hour or so (one way) to commute to the project site. This bus is packed by the time we get to Guate. Guatemalans have no concept of personal space... let me tell you.
The picture of Lidnsie, Hilary and Zach and me is our smiling picture of our winning design (out of the 3 design teams). We have been working 7 days a week with many days as long as 12 hour days!!!
There are couple pics of Antigua where we are living. It´s a nice city although it has been flooding for the last two days! I have a cool pic of the icecream cart man pushing his helado up a flooded street but I can´t seem to upload it... I will try again later!
