Today we did a lot of sightseeing. We really haven't stopped moving since 6:30 this morning, which is crazy. In a little while, I'm planning on crashing and not waking up for a little while. We were in downtown in Guatemala City which is very diverse. There are the slums of Guatemala and then real close is a "richer area." There are so many small houses in the ravine and if there is a lot of rain, there is a good chance that a lot of these houses won't exist any longer. Tomorrow we're going to visit someone who lives in the ravine, or at least I think that's tomorrow, it could be on Wednesday.
I learned a lot about Guatemala history and how there is still a major split between the few wealthy families in Guatemala. It's really not good circumstances and eventually, I'll have pictures to post on here.
Anyway, I think I need to get to bed cause I'm about to fall asleep writing this thing....
