End of Step... :-)

I feel like i should blog as i havnt in ages but its 1.30am so its going to be short - that should make Paul happy though because he might actually read it...

Last wednesday we finished our time working with GEU (the house and garden looks awesome) and started our holiday which has just come to an end. We climbed a live volcano called Pacaya and toasted Marshmellows, and then headed off to Lake Atitlan for a few days which was incredibly beautiful. We have also visited Antigua (a traditional style town with lots of markets and lots of fun haggling)

In about 5 and a half hours, Claire, Luke, Rachel, Kossy and I are getting the bus to Tikal. Claire and Luke are travelling for 2 weeks, Rachel is staying on for summer step and Kossy and I are staying on for 4 weeks. Heulwen is staying for 3 weeks but is meeting up with friends so not coming with us. Everyone else (Faye, Katy, Helen, Matt and Guy) are flying home tomorrow.

Lots of sad times saying goodbye later today which will be very hard but its not a permanent goodybe.

Im shattered so cant write more - Step has been one of (if not the) most amazing experiences of my life. I have learnt so much about so much! Its just been staggering!

Cant wait for travelling - will try to keep you updated.

Much Love and God Bless,

Joel
