true life planet

On Tuesday I fly to Panama City, Panama.

Before then, here’s whats in the general works:

Saturday and Sunday, spend some time with the kids in my neighborhood/including our last english class tomarrow night. It will probably be more like a fiesta!

On Sunday, I’ve been invited to special catholic Mass at the seminary here in Guatemala. It is spectacular. There are only eight seminarians, and I plan on interviewing one of them for my blog. On Sunday, I will also be having a goodbye meal with the family.

On Monday, leaving la Esperanza for Xela early in the morning.
Plan on taking a chicken bus to Guatemala city, where i will then take a cab to my hotel/one of the ones near the airport, don’t know which one.

While in Guatemala city, I plan on interviewing and hanging out with an intersting man I met in Guatemala City in the past..he is lawyer for youth in gangs. A very interesting man, who has a tremendous heart for people.

I’ll spend the night in Guatemala City, then catch a plane to Panama in the afternoon. From Panama city, I’ll catch a bus to the main terminal, where I’ll meet the volunteer on her way out who I will be replacing..and hopefully get a mini orientation in the terminal about the Ngobe people and culture, as well as my tasks before me.

At midnight, I will hop on a bus/or perhaps I should say, drag myself on to a bus!..to David. I’ll get to david in the morning.
I will email from there to tell folks I am safe. From david, i will take a 4 by 4 pickup down a dirt road for quite awhile to reach Soloy, where I will be staying for the next 11 weeks.

Flight information can be found on the earlier entry.

Thanks for all the warm thoughts and words of encouragement1 Keep them coming!
