Guatemala!

I know this website looks pretty dull now. . . but come back in a few months!
Traci and I are heading to Guatemala in mid August for a year of service through Virginia Mennonite Missions. We'll try to keep this website updated with journal entries and lots of pictures! We're also both on Facebook if you want to check us out there.

Location

Our house is about 100 yards from Eastern Mennonite University and Seminary in Harrisonburg (Shenandoah Valley) Virginia. The historic downtown which has (and still is) undergone a wonderful transformation and revitalization is 2 miles away (Jared often bikes there), James Madison University is a short drive (5-10 minutes depending on what part of campus) and any other part of Harrisonburg can be reached in 15 minutes or less.
Massanutten Resort is 30 minutes away on Rt. 33 and has skiing, golfing, an indoor water park, and many other recreational activities for any time of the year.
The George Washington National Forest, and Skyline Drive (in the Shenandoah National Park) are within 30 minutes and provide wonderful hiking/biking opportunities for nature lovers. Other natural wonders nearby include Luray, Grand and Endless Caverns.
Charlottesville is about an hour away, Richmond and Washington DC are each 2 hours away- but I'm guessing if you wanted to visit those places you'd stay closer to them anyway.
You'll receive directions to our house, with additional contact information after reservations are made. To make a reservation, e-mail us at Yodfus@gmail.com

Rooms

The first room (tan) has a King sized bed, and shares a hall bathroom (green) with us for $30 a night. The other room has a Queen bed, and private bath for $45 a night. Linens are provided and we include a hot breakfast in the morning. We have wireless internet, and plenty of room to make yourself at home!

About Us

We're both graduates of Eastern Mennonite University, class of '05 and are still living and working in Harrisonburg. We bought our house in September '07 and since Traci has always dreamed of running a B&B, we decided to use the two extra bedrooms for that purpose. We have only advertised on Craigslist, and the EMU classifieds- if you have a suggestion of another place we could list we're open to suggestions! We've had guests from Alaska, North Carolina, Kansas and Indiana so far and are looking forward to having more!
