final day

March 20th, our final day in Guatemala. We are in Guatemala City, and could hear it around us all night, the non-stop traffic, sirens, hum of background city-noise. We are in a hotel called the San Jose, which is a cozy haven from a rather dangerous town - at least dangerous at night. Several of the students went to a concert last night with one of our guides from Rights Action, and this morning's report was that all enjoyed it.
We have warm showers here!!!!!!! This is something we've not had the whole time we've been here. Today we get to visit a human rights organization to hear about their work on behalf of civil war widows and orphans. We will also spend our afternoon in the central market, spending those last quetzales that we have. We'll be home tomorrow evening - can't wait to see everyone then! Lots of stories to tell and many more pictures to share!
