Scroll to the bottom for a gallery of photos. But Mexico City’s waste still ends up here. Around 140 families live and work here, building temporary homes nearby and collecting recyclables to sell to the government traders who weigh and pack them up onsite. The community centre is managed by Amextra. People do things a certain way because o...

for life's not a paragraph: December 2013
http://gringanomad.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
For life's not a paragraph. Saturday, December 28, 2013. Floating, Free Falling, and a Beautiful Finish. I immediately grabbed a co-worker and made plans to see the beach that weekend. The closest and most popular beach to Antigua is Monterrico, a 2.5-hour drive away on the Pacific Coast. It's known for its black volcanic sands and unruly undertow in the surf (you can't really. But as I waited, two guys from our tour group hoisted themselves up and over the iron rails and off the edge, just like that....

for life's not a paragraph: January 2013
http://gringanomad.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
For life's not a paragraph. Thursday, January 31, 2013. I moved (already). As much as I loved living with my host family, it’s cheaper to live on my own, and it allows me to live at my own pace. I now live about 8 blocks north of Lucky and Jose, in a house that I share with 5 other Safe Passage volunteers and 2 other gringos who work/study in Antigua. The vacant remains of 17. Hill of the Cross) marks the north, and Volcano Agua. Antigua attracts heaps of international ex-pats, as well as wealthy Guatema...

for life's not a paragraph: Where to throw the toilet paper and other (reverse) culture shock experiences
http://gringanomad.blogspot.com/2013/05/where-to-throw-toilet-paper-and-other.html
For life's not a paragraph. Friday, May 31, 2013. Where to throw the toilet paper and other (reverse) culture shock experiences. I took a trip home this month. Back to my beloved STL, my family and friends, my baseball. After a whirlwind visit, I flew out to the only other place I’ve ever considered home – DC. I didn’t get enough time in either place, but the time I did spend was wonderful. A few things, however, struck me quite differently than they used to. How did we all end up doing it that way?

for life's not a paragraph: My Dry Hot Guatemalan Summer
http://gringanomad.blogspot.com/2013/04/dry-hot-guatemalan-summer.html
For life's not a paragraph. Wednesday, April 17, 2013. My Dry Hot Guatemalan Summer. It’s nearing the end of “summer” in Guatemala. As this “summer” rolled along, the Lenten season in Antigua incited a barrage of purple banners, street vendors, and heavier-than-usual traffic. Swarms of people from the City and surrounding towns flocked in to view the town’s famous Lenten processions. Lent culminates in Holy Week. And a homemade chocolate operation. After a lively, mildly crowded chicken bus. Ride, we suc...

http://gringanomad.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
For life's not a paragraph. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Small Town Charms and Big City Sights. Have now lived in Colombia for over a month (? No more sign of my secret admirer, but meanwhile more important things have been happening. And so time flies! Thursday, October 14, 2010. Well, that's new to me. 48 were Colombian. So almost half. Often because they choose to exercise rights that we in the States take for granted. The first entry for October. Other duties lately: making speakers’ tour. I’ve ...

for life's not a paragraph: November 2010
http://gringanomad.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
For life's not a paragraph. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Keep on the Sunny Side, Always on the Sunny Side. I have never seen so much rain in my life. President Santos declared a “state of calamity” for nearly the entire country for how much it’s been raining here. It never stops. Even just when you think maybe, maaaybe it will stay clear today, you feel that first drop. Shoot me. Never hurts to have an extremely seasoned world traveler give your homeland so much praise. Until then, though, I’m soaki...
