                                        Lunes, 18 de junio de 2007. A day in my not so everyday life. I woke up on Saturday morning to no power.oh well, these things happen. It seems this was due to the construction they are doing on the highway. As I am sitting in Ricca Burger (yes, Ricca Burger) waiting for my usual order of eggs, refried beans and cheese, I begin to contemplate the busy day ahead. Lunes, 11 de junio de 2007.

It's a pretty large city with all the major amenities....I've ...

                                        Jueves, 30 de agosto de 2007. Livingston- Welcome to paradise! Upon arriving to the dock in Livingston, you feel as if you have left Guatemala and been transported to a tropical island somewhere in the Caribbean. I was immediately mesmerized by this town, with such warm and smiling people and their tranquil rhythm of life. Despite having their defined geographic area, language, and culture, in contrast to the other 23 Guatemalan ethnicities, it was not until the mid 80s that they were officially recogniz...

It's total Beverly Hills 90210. Last Sunday was a gorgeous day. Balthazar (a.k.a Balta and Blablazar) called me up that morning to do something and we decided on a party on my rooftop. The party started at 2:00pm. after Balta fulfilled his duty of voting. We ate, drank, learned french (yes, really! Vea aprendiendo frances: http:/ youtube.com/watch?

                                        Martes, 16 de octubre de 2007. An ex-guerrillero tells his story. At last week’s conference, Ronaldo came to speak to us about his life and experiences as a guerrillero during the civil war (1960-1996). In Guatemala, guerrilla groups began to emerge in the 1960s in response to the increasing repression of the military regimes, rampant discrimination, inequality, unequal distribution of land, and total neglect of the rural and indigenous communities.

                                        Viernes, 23 de noviembre de 2007. Thanksgiving in Xela was the ultimate feast. About 20 of us gathered, mostly from the U.S. but also Europe and Guatemala. We weren't able to get our hands on a turkey, but we had more than enough to induce a state of food coma. We had salads, mashed potatoes, stuffing, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, green beans, chicken and at least five different pies and desserts. Publicar un comentario en la entrada.

                                        Viernes, 18 de enero de 2008. Colom asume Presidencia de Guatemala. Colom ofrece confianza, unidad nacional y diálogo. El presidente anunció que se despide del partido que lo llevó al poder. Con un discurso en el que hizo más de 20 promesas y reiteró su voluntad de ayudar a los pueblos indígenas y a los más pobres, y en el que solicitó “confianza” a toda la población, para unificar el país, Álvaro Colom asumió ayer la Presidencia de la República. A veces, Colom era interrumpido por los aplausos.

                                        Martes, 22 de mayo de 2007. In Search of an Adivinador. On Sunday I ventured to Zunil with a friend, whose last wish before heading back to the U.S. the following day was to visit an. Fortune teller, shaman, medicine man, etc.) who he had heard about. I was a bit hesitant at first because over the years I have become less impressed with my visits to these fortune tellers, but I decided what the heck. If anything, it would be a cultural experience and besides, I was to serve as the interpreter. The priest...
