First Day in San Lucas Toliman

We drove to San Lucas Toliman at around 9:30; it took about four hours. We spent the time during the drive sleeping and playing "Mafia" and other card games. I think the best part of the drive was when we saw the lake from above because it was beautiful. After arriving to San Lucas, we immediately dropped our bags at the hotel and went to IMAP (permaculture institute), standing on the beds of pick-up trucks. IMAP is where we will be learning about permaculture for the next two days. While we were there, we ate lunch and spent three hours learning about the history of American influence on Guatemala. Then we drove to a community center where we had dinner. As we walked back to the hotel, Ms. Vann was walking backwards to remind us to be careful and fell in a gutter which was knee-deep. It took us only 10 seconds before everyone (including Ms. Vann) started laughing about it.
