Christmas Day
We have finally figured out how to post photos so that you can click on them to see full size. ALSO- go to right side of page and under Blogroll, click on “a look at our trip photos” to go to a web album of pictures.
Well, it’s raining like crazy but it’s warm and beautiful here. We are presently at a somewhat ecolocation that is just wonderful; a central building with kitchen and lots of porch space with tables and hammocks, then there are sections that have treehouses for rent and small cabinas. A 5 min. walk leads through their gardens and farm animals to a small lagoon with crystal clear water for swimming. Will add photos after the rain.
Guatamala so far has won our hearts. The country is spectacularly beautiful (imagine being an ant traveling a road that runs through meringue hills. Tons of pointy green hills that are sometimes under cultivation and sometimes dotted with livestock), the people very warm and they speak a version of spanish that is slow and precise making us feel like we know more than we do.
Seems we are zooming through but we expect to spend lots more time on the return trip in the western highlands.

Merry Christmas Casey and Craig! Wishing you Peace and Joy in 2009! We all are enjoying reading about your adventures, keep those entries coming! All is well here on the lake, enjoyed our first Chrismas here and it was a white one! The neighbors complain that we hve brought our mountain snow with us. Preparing to shed 2008 and cheer 2009 on, it has to be a better one. Libba is packing her bags reading herself for Wheaton, Jes is job hunting like everyone else and adjusting to living with his parents again! Miss you greatly and can’t wait to have coffee and hear your adventures in person. Also glad to see the van is still crusing along. Amen! Love Lisa, Jamie, Jesse and Libba

Man, you guys must be sick of just enjoying yourselves all the time. I hope you take some time off and argue with a cab driver or something else mildly taxing. We are headed to Munich tomorrow for Silvesternacht amid perfectly freezing weather.
