Guatemalan Glory: A Photo Update on my Travels in Guatemala



A Contemplative Diana (Daughter of my host family)



Double chinned Jennifer Soria (the daughter of my host family) and myself: grins upon arrival. I lived with this family (a single mom and her two daughters) two years ago. Its lovely to be tickeled by these girls again.

A Holiday Face: This book has captured me...Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels...please read it.



Natalie and I: Our view of three mountains and one errupting volcano...we woke to puffs of smoke every morning.

Entrance to our Lodgings for the Weekend...Tree House: a little cabin located in a giant tree overlooking the above view. Frig. I didnt want to leave. Sweet solace.




Back to Real Life: The Market...crabs on a fence...the market is full of wonderful pictures.




Tomato Angles




Chili Piquante



Everything is for sale: rusty tools, eight tracks, and used construction helmets. (Blade??!!)




Guatemalan Cowboys gather to sell their animals in Chimaltenango.




Contrasts: 2d idealism vs 3d reality



She's in there...and she's under lock and key. I suppose this was a mistranslation.

Foosball in Guatemala?
....More to come...
