The reality of this trip is truly starting to set in. With less than two weeks until departure, I can't stop thinking about everything I have left to do before we leave. With logistics of packing and vaccinations aside, I've been trying to practice speaking Spanish, a fleeting skill that I haven't studied since high school. But excitement trumps my restless feelings. I'm looking forward to experiencing a new culture, meeting new people who lead a life so different from my own, and learning how all of this is made possible for so many through coffee farms and tea gardens. I also hope that we can help their community in a small way as we work at our community partner's preschool.
Shoveling snow this morning made me even more anxious to spend ten days in the tropical climate of Guatemala. I can't wait to explore all of the beauty that the country has to offer from its dense forests, vast farmland, tropical birds, and dormant volcano Atitlán!
