This weekend a group of four went to Solola Guatemala for the weekend. We went down to do a survey trip for "Operation Security Blanket". Eagles Nest Children's Home is located here and we are planning do to an install of security equipment in the home to help protect the children. More on this project at hillenblog.com.
Back to the small world... as we were driving up the mountain from Panajachel back to Solola, we stopped to take some pictures. As we were stopped, the other van from the children's home stopped to say hi. As we were talking, someone in the van said, "is that guy's last name Mills?". We were not for sure what to think. I opened the door to the van and in the back seat was my friend Russ Robinson. Russ and I grew up together on Bull Shoals lake in MO. We have been friends as long as I can remember. He and his wife now live in Austin TX.
I will let someone calculate the odds of running in to someone you know in a foreign country.

A better question might be..."how does two guys from SW MO get in and out of a foreign country without some kind of mishap?". Come to think of it, there was the firework show using DIY dynamite...
It was great to see you! We had a great week of feeding and playing with the kids as well as painting and other projects. We also got to know Larry and Claire, which was a lot of fun. The security "blanket" will be a big blessing to them.
I've sure enjoyed reading your blog. It's a great way to catch up on your family, as well as salivate over BBQ. Good luck with baseball/BBQ/Graduation, etc. etc.
