Guatemala - Finca Paraiso and drive back to Guatemala City - July 27, 2018


The group wanted to all go back to Finca Paraiso so we got up in the morning so that we could go see it. This is the cute boat that took us everywhere.


This place is so pretty and peaceful and not touristy!


My dad and Derick, my older brother. I admire both of the so much!


My awesome parents are troopers! They keep up with all of our craziness on these trips!



My younger brother Julio and my younger sister Zildy. I am so glad we have such a great relationship that we can take these trips together!
Look at this awesome family! Greatest blessing!



They took us on the back of a tractor so we didn't have to walk.

Agua de Coco! Yum!

The hike in.

A little cave in the water :)

Face masks

Anyone want some fish?

Getting ready to go back to the city

We took a group picture with our Guatemala shirts that Kalina got ordered for us at the last minute.






Zildy's memory

And Kailee

We got back to Guatemala City. We were hungry but we couldn't find food so we ended up at McDonalds.

Guatemala - Rio Dulce - July 26, 2018

We went back to Denny's Beach because the kids had such a fun time last time that they begged us go go again. This time my mom really wanted to go on a boat ride on the Rio Dulce to take us to the ocean. So we did and it was beautiful! Our only non-driving day!

I love this picture because it shows the serenity of this place!

Breakfast by the beach


Castillo San Felipe

Getting gas for the boat

Nice little island in the middle of the river







We made it to the coast. A town named Livingston. Jasmine of course loved every dog that she saw.

We played in the ocean



We got our hair braided by the locals (Garifuna)

While we waited for our food they were playing music and Carina was dancing with them.


Shayden fit right in!

Castillo San Felipe on the way back

Once back at Denny's Beach we got in the water. It was so warm and perfect to soak.


Dinner time


A game of Mafia by the campfire.
