Day 1 (Feb.2nd) Leaving for Guatemala

A. drives me to train station not far away from home. Whoops, forgot some papers. Take a cab quickly to go home again pick up papers and back to train station in time.
Ottawa to Montreal by Vial Rail as snow storm is now underway. Liz and I are eary-early at Montreal Trudeau Airport for our flight to Miami at 12:30. Since planes are landing and taking off we are hopeful to get away. And, yes, we do get away and have a boring flight once we were in the air.  (fellow volunteers going through Toronto had a very bumpy flight to the southern US).
Miami Airport connection not too bad.
Guatemala arrival and looking for Adrenalina shuttle driver. Finally we see Lucas who Liz has met the year previous. However we decide to wait about 1.5 hours for David who is on a much later flight...the only hope is that we rocognize him? Although we were all at Tom and Rita's in January there were so many of us.
Home in Antigua is Posada La Merced. A very respectable hotel. Six of us are heading off to Xela the next day so we will see Antigua much more later on in the trip.
Pictures will be added.
