FATHER'S DAY FISHING

 My dad said a few weeks ago, "I wish we did something for holidays besides eating", so we made it happen.  We all went to my Uncle Willard's lake house to fish

LAST GUATEMALA POST - PROMISE

 Up in the lake area - GORGEOUS!!

 The freshest guacamole ever.  Avacados are .50!

 GIANT carrots at the market

 Rice and beans are a staple for EVERY meal.  Sold by the pound here

 The fruit on the left is Dragon fruit.  The inside is HOT MAGENTA.  It grows in volcano lava!

GUADEVER!

 The children of Guatemala was one of the highlights for me and Tony.

They are just content to play with a ball or roll a wheel.  There aren't a lot of toys lying around.  As a matter of fact, I never saw any toys!  The kids at the Adonai day school were so appreciative of the guys building on to their school, they put on a little show for us.  It was a highlight of the trip, such a blessing!

 One of the guys took about 20 lbs of candy to hand out, so we were very popular in the neighborhood.

 Here's a side view of the "Fort" we built for the orphanage at People's Church

 Poppie was showing out, climbing up poles and such

This is my VERY fav picture

GUAT'S UP!!!????

 Once all the work was finished, we visited the ancient city of Antigua

 Awesome street musician in the park

 Beautifully carved architect

 These women have strong necks!

 Of course I love this -- It's NYC!!

GOT GUAT? WOW, GUATEMALA!

 The people of Guatemala are so appreciative and thankful for any little thing you do, they want to reciprocate and give back.  Since this was a building trip, there were only three women, so we were greeted the first day with a dozen roses each.  Flowers are plentiful there.

 A former project by First Wesleyan in years past

 We removed a cabinet to put in two rooms, and sat it outside.  It wasn't out there very long before some kids were loading it on a wheelbarrow to take it home.  How innovative!  

 A simple football entertains a group of kids for hours.  Not many toys lying around

 Men at Work!

Tony was one of the young workers!
