The flight from ATL to Guatemala City is 3.5 hours. Not bad. The time zone is Central, so only one hour difference. Flying into the country was beautiful. Mountains as far as I could see, part of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and Sierra de las Minas range. We flew over a volcano, too. It's named Volcan de Agua.
When I landed, I was amazed at all the Mayan people I saw. It was beautiful. A sea of brilliant bright colors of their handmade (loomed) clothing. They were obviously there waiting for the arrival of their families from the States.
The facilitator picked me up and we went to his house. The whole family was there. His wife and two children as well as three young children waiting to be adopted, and two infants, one of which is Sophia. After signing some papers they took me and Sophia to the hotel and I had the rest of the night with her. The family was very nice and accommodating and have a warmth that immediately put me at ease.
