Step One Complete

We arrived safely in Guatemala City and are now at the hotel. Pauline had the interview at the US Embassy yesterday, which went pretty smoothly (a bit of waiting around of course). And today she will go to pick up the visa. So far things have been pretty mellow - between getting in late and waking up early for the appointment, we are all tired. Also, Jaime seems to have a bit of a bug. He was sick in the night but seemed to be holding his own today until just recently he got sick again. We are going to lie low and the hotel is having the doctor come over. It seems like just a stomach virus, but with the plane trip ahead I guess it is better to be safe than sorry. Hopefully we will still be able to visit the historic city of Antiqua, but we will just have to wait and see. I will try to post pictures later, I just wanted to get a quick note out while I had the chance. The internet signal has been down most of the time we have been here.
David is keeping himself occupied exploring the hotel and we have had a few walks. It is the rainy season (I think they have 6 months of it) and it is not hard to see why they call it that. It goes from being sunny and beautiful one minute to a downpour the next. No one goes anywhere without an umbrella. More later, Fran

Ola! We are thrilled beyond belief - David will always be welcome on our travels - he sure has the right attitude when it comes to passing time. Our guardian angel is on loan to you all until all are safely home. Until then, Godspeed. Joe & Moana
