I have just arrived in Antigua Guatemala. I am here with a group sponsored by ITT Corporate supporting Water for People. We will be moving onto Santa Cruz tomorrow where we will stay for the rest of the week while during the days we will be traveling to schools in Quiche.

A we drove from the airport in Guatemala City to Antiqua there was a stark difference with Honduras. Guatemala has more large businesses supporting the economy and it is apparent that tourism is strong in comparison. Many women are wearing traditional clothing. It is so cute to see the children in traditional clothing and acting just like any other child, playing, crying and teasing their siblings. I have not observed water issues as of yet but I anticipate that I will this week.
