Semuc Champey & El Salvador

Well, the weekend before the Meeting Place, (which is the youth group from Winnipeg that Amber and I are in charge of here in Guatemala)arrived, our whole group went to Semuc Champey which is a gloriously beautiful area 9 hours away with a river with rapids that turn into wonderful pools of water with little waterfalls leading from one to the next. We were able to swim in the crystal clear blue water and also explore a cave with candles which was really cool. We walked underneath a waterfall in this cave and then jumped back into the rushing water. The day after the 9 hour drive home Amber, Julianna, Jacobo and I went to El Salvador to try to renew our visas, but had no luck as now you can only do it in Guatemala city at an office, or you have to leave the country through Mexico or Belize. It was a long all for nothing trip which I really didn't need on my plate at that time, but at least we got papusas. These are a tortilla like food with cheese and beans inside. Then you top it with cabbage and salsa. They were pretty good. Anyways, the next day the Meeting Place arrived, so I was super busy on Tuesday preparing everything for their arrival that evening. Then the next day Wednesday I was burnt out. I had no energy whatsoever. I'm back to my normal self now :)
