We have arrived in the beautiful Antigua! Flights couldn't have gone smoother. Everyone was up at the crack of dawn; the Rochestarians met at the airport at 4:30. It was tough but it all was worth it now! It really is something else here. It was a beautiful drive from Guatemala City to Antigua. It is quite a different feel between the two cities. Although we simply drove through Guatemala City, it transitioned from a bustling urban metropolis to a more mountainous, old, colonial feel in Antigua! Unfortunately I didn't get to snap any pictures but I definitely will try to take some and post them tomorrow. Antigua is full of beautiful plazas, architecture, and quaint little streets - all with cobblestone roads! The hotel is quite beautiful which is nice to take advantage of after a long day of travel. The hospital is within walking distance of the hotel which is great - about 10 minutes. We are just doing screening tomorrow. Exciting to start everything up! It has been good to practice my Spanish with the drivers and hotel staff to get me prepped for the week. Dinner with the team tonight!
That's all for now - Adios!
