Guate Again!

Hard to believe that we are back in Guate again! The year has flown by.
Tina and I arrived on the 5th, got moved in and quickly went to sleep. The 22 hours of travel to get here had taken their toll. Now I am running around getting things organized for this years group of students from the Outtatown program. The group arrives Thursday night at ~9:pm. Tina will be taking more of a back seat role this year. In the fall she was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - so we are being vigilant at managing her energy levels. Of course, Tina being Tina she is still in great spirits and sees this an opportunity to slow down - something that she has dreamed of doing for the last few years!
The set up this year is a little different - there are only 31 people coming down (as opposed to the normal ~60). Tina and i will be trying to set up as much of the semester as we can for them before we hand the reigns off to the leaders of the group at the end of Jan. After that Tina and I are going to take a couple weeks to simply hang out in this country that we love.
