Natural Beauty of Guatemala

The volcanoes were absolutely stunning!!! You just can't imagine waking up to such beauty each and every day! Catherine, Kelly and I were talking that the view from their sponsored children's (Juan Armando's and Lesby) homes would be million dollar views in anyplace but Guatemala!

On the road to Panajachel looking out at Lake Atitlan


The GAFI gang - Julie, her mom Marie, Pam, Kelly, Catherine, Rena, Sarah




This awesome waterfall along the road to San Jorge




This is the view from the school yard... takes your breath away!


Here are those million dollar views from the top of San Jorge looking down at Panajachel from Juan Armando's and Lesby's homes



See that boy only inches from the ledge? I was having panic attacks with him standing there until I told him to "venga" after I saw him in the picture...



And, in case you are wondering... yes, that is a very high cliff that I risked life and limb (with my fear of heights) to go to those beautiful babies homes... it was so incredibly worth it!!
