A Volunteer Experience

There is an animal shelter that I've been wanting to volunteer at for a while.  I finally got there this weekend.

It is called AWARE and is two short bus rides from Antigua.  They have around 400 animals right now- about 80 cats and the rest dogs.  I've been missing having a cat around, so I very much enjoyed cuddling with them :) 

I was very nervous to take a chicken bus to get there.  A friend from my house came with me, but she had never ridden the buses in Guatemala before. 
Thankfully we made it no problems!  And now I'm a little less scared of taking the bus, though I would still prefer my car any day.


After the bus rides we had about a mile and a half walk.
It was kind of a rainy day, but had mostly stopped by this point.





Fallen tree or slayed giant's heart?
 


 
Simple, but clean and the cats had lots of room

















Awww...




























The sun came out and all the cats found a spot to soak up the warmth.
