Guatemala City dump from the airplane

Eating with friends at Casa Santa Domingo . There was a earthquake while they were here

This sign was put up after the earthquake :)

Some of the kids that come to Homers everyday for food and education

These little boys walk over the river everyday to Homers house to get food 'cause there dad is in a wheelchair. Look at those eyes :(

When the plane landed they had police waiting because word had spread in the village that gringos were coming . The police had to make sure they didn't have drugs.

A school they stopped at

So cute


Love these boys .... so handsome !!

JUTIAPA GUATEMALA

Our tour guide, translator, chef and friend Jorge Mario. He has become like family to us . He started with us when we moved to Guatemala and he had NO idea what he was getting into !! :)

Trying to find Jutiapa

The twins were born in Moyuta, Jutiapa

Scenery of Jutiapa

It is very hot and dry in jutiapa. It is considered the "wild west" of Guatemala. The men are very "machismo" (sp?)



They stopped and ate at a restuarant in Moyuta


How cool is that !!??


This is the road heading to the village of Salamar where the twins were born

A store in Salamar

A church in the village of Salamar

Driving up to the house

The house where twins were born

Leaving a quick as possible but still snapping pictures :)

One part of the story I forgot to mention is that we were told that the Bmother was from El Salvador. Which makes perfect sense because from the house where the babies were born you can see the border. I am still not sure if I have absorbed all of this :) All of you with Jutiapa babies .... feel free to copy these pictures !! I will post a slideshow with the pictures of Quiche (where Mark went to prepare for a June mission trip our church will be taking ) later.
