After about 12 hours over 2 days, we finally made it to Guatemala, or Guate, and waited about an hour and a half for Beto's brother to come pick us up. Luckily, we had yummy snacks sent to me from the States.
The next day we happened along Herbie. I havn't seen the new version but love the old one. Boy is he cute!
Beto loves his family. These are 4 of his 7 nieces and nephews, with another on the way! Cristalita, Kenneth, and Alessandro(the baby).
Another day, we visited Beto's sister who works at McDonalds and enjoyed lunch on her, well, we didnt actually eat on her like a table, well, you know. But the McDonalds there are so much nicer, and the workers friendlier. When I asked for more ketchup, two guys almost tripped and fell over each other to help me, and the ladies were like that too. They also have a "McCafe" on another wing complete with couches, like Starbucks. I don't know why the states hasn't plugged into that scene yet! It was a nice change, even if it was McDonalds.
And the Christmas tree in Guatemala City is HUGE! of course, it is sponsored by the national beer company of the country.
I love that the McDonalds has that! what a great idea!! I might actually eat there if they did that (or at least enjoy taking the kids there more than I do now)
