Here we are heading out to the village on our first day. It was about 6:30 am when we left since the village was a two hour bus ride from where we were staying. It was hot and muggy already at that time, we were prepared but the heat in the village was intense.
This was one of the three armed soldiers from the Guatemalan Air Force that rode with us that morning. Each day we ride out with three soldiers on our bus and follow wither the truck with the rest of the soldiers or a police escort or both.
Here is Pablo our driver!
