After getting some much needed sleep last night, I got up this morning and took some of the students to Fuentes Georginas, some hot springs located about 15 minutes from Zunil. On the way there one minibus and one pick-up got stuck (in opposite directions) and it took about 20 minutes for them to get out of the mud. Because of the affects of Hurricane Stan in Guatemala, there are still severe mudslides in the mountains when it rains.

The warm water felt good, seeing that I was a bit sore from the long hike the day before. We stayed there for a while and left around 12:30 or 1 pm. There were no pick-ups at the gates like normal and we had to wait a while for a ride. After 10 minutes a group of various Guatemalan families started leaving and one offered us a ride in the back of their pick-up truck for free. They ended up taking us all the way to Xela which was really nice, especially since they didn´t want any money in return.
