http://beveres.blogspot.com/2010/06/ambassadorial-visit.html
Everything you can imagine in Guatemala is real. Saturday, June 12, 2010. It is truly rare that an ambassador takes the time to visit communities, see Peace Corps volunteers' work and the people whom with they work alongside, learn an indigenous language- all for the sake of doing his job to the best of his ability.

Everything you can imagine in Guatemala is real. Sunday, January 31, 2010. Meet Bobby, or if you're on head-scratching terms with him, you can just call him Bobito. Like all other dogs in Guatemala, he is referred to as a chucho. Street dog) instead of perro. Dog) I bet that if dogs had the same rights as humans, then chucho. Would probably be considered a derogatory term used against perros. But let's not get political. Bobby is no ordinary chucho. He is Alpha Alpha male- yes, I used two. Bobby has made...

All right, so I never actually watched infomercials (that much), but we have all seen, and skipped past, the pitch for MagneScribe. So then why on earth am I writing about infomercials in Guatemala? I don't own a television, thus ruling out any and all possibility of even having to think. Bus) rides. Oh, the camioneta. Show a few grotesque photos of infe...

Everything you can imagine in Guatemala is real: Guatemalan Birthdays
http://beveres.blogspot.com/2010/06/guatemalan-birthdays.html
Everything you can imagine in Guatemala is real. Thursday, June 10, 2010.

Just like any other meeting in Guatemala, a detailed agenda is made. Ño de todo nosotros".

Everything you can imagine in Guatemala is real. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Having twenty-one days of annual leave left before my completion of service (COS), I decided to do a bit of traveling around Central America. My first week was planned and spent on Bay Islands in Honduras with my two training buddies, Marisha and Robin, and then two weeks in Nicaragua to spend time with my dear friend and fellow Peace Corps volunteer, Carolyn.
