Here are the last of our photos from our recent trip to Cobán. Enjoy!
On Saturday, we went to a natural spring called Las Islas (The Islands). At the park, the kids swam and searched for seashells and crabs. Here, the kids get their first glimpse of the springs

After a day at the pool, the kids were tired out! Eliza fell asleep with baby Jennifer Denise.
The accommodations in Cobán were not exactly 5-star, but no one complained. The temperature got as low as 45 degrees, and with a building that isn't entirely closed and no central heat, that gets chilly!
Everyone bundled up under sleeping bags and blankets
On Sunday morning, ladies from a local church cooked the kids tamales in an outdoor kitchen, over a wood fire.
Video 1: Alejandro leads a sing-along with the Casa Shalom kids in church on Sunday. Video 2: Cesár speaks in church on Saturday night and was asked to say something in Kachikel, his native language. The Kachikels are the native indigenous population in Cobán.
