I made it to Xela!!!

The bus ride, however, was not for the faint of heart... or stomach for that matter! I have never been on a bus that took such sharp turns so quickly! #guatemaladriving

Here is my room:

Pretty nice if you ask me.

I made my way down to the main square this afternoon and it was beautiful as well.  Can't wait to explore more in the next couple of weeks!

Overall, a great first day. Can't wait to meet everyone at Pop Wuj tomorrow!!!
