I have no idea where to begin here.
I'm back in town after two incredible weeks, one that made the other look just silly.
My vacation in the southern caribbean was much overdue and great, but completely overshadowed by an unbelievable week in Guatemala.

There's simply too much to share for one blog post, so several will be coming.
I'm not even going to bother with talking about vacation although it was great to hang with some of my old Nashville friends on some really great islands. (and eat way too much)
I'll include a couple of shots though for those of you stuck in the cold KC weather:

Here is what's to come:
- zip-lining in Guatemala
- a glass blowing factory
- hot springs naturally heated by a volcano
- a Guatemalan market
- being adopted by an incredible Canadian family (practically)
- an unbelievably beautiful wedding with an epic mountain backdrop and over 500 Cala lilies

for now, a scene from Guatemala:
