Hola, All! Edna and I have met these 3 Guatemalan girls who show up just when we need them. For instance, yesterday we were in a Tuktuk, which is a three wheeled taxi about the size of a golf cart. It was pouring down rain as we were making our way from San Juan to San Marcos on the bumpiest roads because of the hugh potholes in the road. In one place the water was covering the road and somehow we made it through. Normally the sides of the Tuktuks are fairly open but when it is raining, they have a curtain on each side, which only helps to keep the rain out if you hold the curtain in place. We were both wearing capris, Edna had a jacket but nothing on her head; I was wearing my rain windbreaker with a hood. And the rain was coming down in sheets. As we rounded a bend, we saw a large truck completely blocking the road; our driver could go no further because they were working on the road. I asked our driver how much farther the town was and he responded 20 meters, but I really had no idea how far that was. As Edna and I got out to walk the rest of the way in the rain, we were laughing at our predicament! The town was really only a short walk, thank goodness. As we reached San Marcos, who should be at the top of the hill but our little angels. They showed us to a restaurant named Ganesh where we were to meet with Stephanie, the Reike instructor. I am pretty sure we would not have found the restaurant without our little angels. Several times when we wanted to go someplace, they just seem to appear out of nowhere.
Angels can be people sometimes!
