Day 5. We're still alive!!!

So today we went into Guatemala city to get a fan and a basketball goal. We also went to get the money that we brought for the trip. It was a lot so Julio was nervous to take it out of the bank. Apparently the tellers there can make signs or alert other people around as to how much you are taking out and then those people can kidnap you or just hold you at gun point and steal your money. Thank goodness that did not happen:) So while we were in Guatemala city we had lunch at TGI Fridays! It was nice once again to have American food. We all had hamburgers and Julio had a steak. After we drove back from Guatemala city we picked the girls, Luci, and Cindy (works for the Garcias)up and went to camp. We watched the high schoolers practice their dance and their miming routine (Erin you will love it!) Then we attempted to put the basketball goal together...that did not go so well, and we will make the second attempt tomorrow. Tonight we went to watch Luci play basketball and when her practice was over we played some two on two. I did not win. Poor Mark was on my team. Oh well. Thats all for the day. It was a great day! Who knows what tomorrow brings. Here are some pics of the drive to the city today and the basketball goal before all its glory.
