We got here Wed. with no problems, then we negotiated about an hour with the car rental agencies and rented a 12 passenger van with a luggage rack. We had planned to visit the Mayan Ruins on the way to Pannajachl, but we were running short on time so we decided to visit the zoo in Guatemala City. The Zoo was interesting and beautiful. Then, we went to a Guatemalan restaurant called Chillis - ha, ha. The drivers are very aggressive and not courteous. There seems to be no speed limit and alot of dinted and scratched up vehicles. It took us 3 hours to drive to Pannajachl. Some of the roads were smooth but the last hour of the ride was pot hole city. Laura said it was worse than the Alaskan Highway. We got to Panna. late and were ready for bed. When we woke up Thur. morning we went outside and were taken back by the beauty of the mountains and lake, along with 3 volcanoes. After breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, real dark refried beans, cheese, fried bananas, watermelon, pineapple, papaya juice, and homemade bread. It was different but tasty. We traveled up the mountain approx. 15 minutes to 9,000 feet above sea level to the Eagle's Nest Orphanage. There were 50 babies there and about 30 pre-schoolers. The ladies were in baby heaven. Paige and Hannah obtained some good experience feeding babies and burping them; and comforting crying babies. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the orphanage and the care the babies and children received. Larry and Clare run the orphanage and they were very friendly and appreciative. We delivered the towels and wash cloths. The joy on the faces of the workers was a real blessing. Thanks to all of you who donated these items and tooth brushes/toothpaste. The men sanded and varnished lumber most of the day. In the afternoon we held a bible school for the kids. It was a joyous time and we saw many smiles on the faces of the kids. Paul picked up some chicken and fries for lunch, then we ate at a restaurant in Panna. for dinner. Laura and Hannah ate chicken kabobs and said they were awesome, the best they had ever eaten. We had a very good devotional time before bed, with Paul leading. The hotel accommodations are nice and the staff is very helpful. Today, we are headed back up to the orphanage.
