Back in Guatemala City

We made it to the Westin this afternoon. After some swimming, we are just relaxing in the room and will probably go to bed early! We have to meet our attorney in the lobby tomorrow morning at 7:30am to go to the U.S. embassy. No cameras are allowed (you even get in trouble if you take a picture of the outside of the building!!), so I won't be posting any pictures from the embassy. Basically, I've heard it is like waiting at the DMV for a few hours. We go up to a few different windows, answer some questions, solemnly swear some stuff, then we're done.

Some of you have been asking about meeting us at the airport when we arrive on Wednesday. While we really, really appreciate your enthusiasm and excitement, we would prefer to see all of you at a later date. Our plane gets in really late and after a long day of travelling, we're pretty sure we'll all be a bit crabby. Plus, we don't want to overwhelm Miranda with lots of new faces too quickly. She's just getting to know us. Please call us during our first few days home and we'd love to see you!

We're off to bed! Will post about the embassy tomorrow!

Keeping you all in my prayers.
The postings are wonderful. Feel like I am there with you in person, not just in spirit.
Much love to all,
Mom/Gramma Donna

Hello Michele, Matt, the boys and Miranda,
Thanks for being such great neighbors in Antigua. When you are traveling for a long time, its nice to just chill with wine, food and friends!
We are in Copan, Honduras now. Made it to Quirigua on Sunday after 17 frightful minutes in Guatemala city. We had to hire a cab to lead us out of there.
Will follow all of your progress on the blog.
