Christmas and New Years Family Trip!

Happy 2011! I can't believe I've been in Guatemala since April 2009 -

This Christmas and New Years I was blessed with the best present ever: a visit from my family! Even though the trip was threatened by various weather conditions - after rescheduling and flying through Amsterdam, the family made it on time!

Here are some photos of the trip's highlights!

A temple in the old Mayan city of Tikal.

Happy New Year from San Jose! (looking glam!)

Meeting the woman' in my Woman's group in Chihuitan, San Vicente

At the top of Pacaya Volcano (it just exploded this past May, thus the 'v' at the top)

We went zip-lining through the monkey infested jungle in Panajachel, with GREAT views of the lake.

At a restaurant in Chichicastenango, El Quiche.
(Alex is looking particularly excited about this!)

Christmas Dinner at Casa del Mundo at Lake Atitlan

Our first night all together in Antigua, Guatemala.
