Well waking up today was also rather rough, seeing as how late we stayed up the night before. But we got up and got ready and headed to eat breakfast. Something I realized that was different from this part of Guatemala compared to Antigua was how hot it was! And man was it really really hot and humid making it almost unbearable to be walking around for more than 10 minutes before you're either exhausted or overheated. Regardless after breakfast I went to take a nap while others either laid on the beach of in the pool. After that we headed to lunch and then checked out of the hotel to head home. This time on the way home I wasn't tired and decided to look out the window. As we drove away from Montericco I saw so many poor families and stores and road side stands. I realized that these were most likely their primary source of income, which could not have been much seeing as how barren the area was. I came to reflect upon all of this and came to asking the question, "if there was one thing that we could provide for all 3rd World Countries that would aid them the most and provide allow them to really help the majority of their impoverished slums, what would it be?" While I couldn't answer the question I figure it was good to have that mindset and try and ask others what they think the answer to such a questions is. Finally we arrived back at La Ciudad Vieja and called it a day early, seeing as how we had just completed one of the most tiring, but by all means the most fun weekend yet!
