Dear Journal,
Today was our last day in Guatemala! I still can't believe it. At first I thought it would never be over, but it flew by! Part of me doesn't want to leave, but most of me is ready to go home. All of us are a little home sick-okay most of us are a lot homesick-me included. Tomorrow we have to have our bags outside at 4:45am! So, in like a little over 5 hours! That's insane! Well, today was kind of an odd day, for me at least. We had breakfast in Panajachel. Then, we had about an hour and a half to explore the city, or do whatever. I went back to the hotel and took a shower. Then, I started to not feel well. My stomach just felt off. Well, we got in the van at 10am to head to Antigua for our last day. I was trying to sleep for most of the 2 1/2 hour drive. My stomach was really bothering me, especially over the bumps! Jeanine gave me some Rolaids and some sort of herbal something that's supposed to help stomach issues, but nothing really helped. We finally arrived in Antigua and went to lunch. I hardly ate, but sipped a Coke. Then, we had the rest of the day free in Antigua. I went back to the room to lay down for a little while. After relaxing for a little and feeling my stomach settle down, I re-packed my bags for tomorrow. I decided I was going crazy in the room, so I went for a walk. I didn't get more than a few blocks away when my stomach started feeling sour again. So, I turned around, went back to my room and read. Caren came in and out and we talked a bit. Then it was time for dinner. I had a few small slices of pizza and a coke. I was feeling better, kind of. On the walk back to the hotel, I started feeling sour again. I'm still not feeling great, but I think it's mostly lack of sleep now. We had our final reflection tonight. Ruth asked us what we would bring back with us from this trip. I can't even begin to describe. I have learned so much and gained so much from this experience! I will reflect more on this on the plane tomorrow. I really need to sleep tonight, especially since I have to wake up at 4am! So, this is good night. ¡Buenos noches!
