Our last full day in Guatemala 8/30/07

We're spending our last full day in Antigua packing, doing laundry, and some final shopping. We went this morning to the Park to meet one last time with our local friends (Ligda, Maira, and Clara). Then, we went to a cathedral and museum to visit the ruins. We came home, then, to get some packing and laundry done and to get Max some lunch. Later, we will head out to the Mercado to finish our shopping. Our friends and neighbors, Joanna and Alejandro, are going to shop with us, then we'll all go to dinner together.

I've really had to watch what I'm eating, as my stomach has been really messed up for the last 36 hours. I'm taking the prescription medication that I'd gotten from my doctor before I left the US, but thus far I'm still not 100%. Hopefully, I'll be better by the time we head home... nothing worse than travelling when you're sick!

Moe started with a touch of an upset stomach this morning, too... but he seems to be doing better. Max and Lili are both doing great, although I think Max is ready to get home to his own space and toys. We are sad to be leaving Guatemala, as we've really enjoyed all of the time that we've spent here exploring. However, we are SO excited to get home to all of our family and friends and to get back to some sort of normal life.

So, if I can't check in for the next couple of days, please pray for safe travels for our family. Calm children wouldn't be a bad thing to pray for, as well... our first time travelling with two children, plus Lili's first flight experience, could make this a very difficult journey. We'll survive, though!

Hope everyone is doing well, and we will talk with everyone soon!

Love,
Krista (and Moe and Max and Lili)
