A Widowmaker for a hot water heater

Mon, 13 Apr 2015 | By cubannomad | Views [2627]

Took some time off from picture taking.  It feels too much like being a tourist.  Had my last class with the kids in San Antonio de Aguas Calientes last week.  Always bitter sweet. Got my share of hugs to last me a while.  Hopefully ... Read more >

Semuc Champey

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 | By kiwiaoraki | Views [2062]

I rise up this morning to take a test of my true adventureness! Whilst El Retiro boasts a beautiful setting, I regret staying here. They're nice enough to let me store my bag as I stuck 50 quetzales (price of admission to Semuc Champey) in my pocket.... Read more >

Trust The Cowboy-Hatted Man

Mon, 12 May 2014 | By | Views [1547] | Scholarship Entry

“Quiche, Quiche, Quiche” is all I could hear from the ayudante amongst running toward the bus, bagless, in the chaotic bus depot of Quetzaltenango. My bag was with another man, a local, in a red plaid shirt adorned with a cowboy hat. My bag was hurled ... Read more >

Killer slide

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 | By tom_moench | Views [1197] | Comments [5]

Day1 of school was both fun and exhausting mentally by the first break at 10:30. The school has afternoon activities this week to El Cerro de Baúl a hillside overlooking Xela. There one finds this killer slide in the playground. What I failed to mention ... Read more >

Psychedelic souls and sky giants

Tue, 21 Mar 2017 | By compassrose | Views [833]

“¡Cuidado!” someone shouts, as a quetzal with a six metre wingspan catches a gust and soars upwards, rippling my hair as I duck. The giant bird lurches as her reins pull taught, and she begins to dance proudly back and forth on the ... Read more >

Country #2.........Guatemala..or getting there

Tue, 4 Nov 2008 | By heywoods1976 | Views [785] | Comments [1]

I was right to be concerned about getting in to Guatemala - not because of the border crossing itself - there is no information, but following other people and a bit of ear-wigging it became quite clear, but because of the logisitics issues on either ... Read more >

I am settling in very well in my second week in Antigua and finally getting comfortable with my schedule.  Monday morning I started back with my volunteer work at Casa Aleluya.  It was very different because all of the children 5 years and ... Read more >

Antigua

Mon, 1 Sep 2008 | By blue | Views [403]

Antigua is a beautiful city...though a bit of a harrowing drive in a minibus. When we got to the Guatemalan border a French couple forgot their passports?! We waited at the border for them to be driven back to Copan. Luckily it is only 30 minutes away.... Read more >

This One Time I Hiked a Volcano

Mon, 25 May 2015 | By | Views [380] | Scholarship Entry

Everyone has a "hit list" right? Not the kind of hit list where you name the people you want killed off (bad form to put that sort of thing in writing); rather, a list of travel stories you can tell to just about any crowd. My audience is typically ... Read more >

A 'place' I have visited

Fri, 5 Jul 2013 | By | Flickr Photo Gallery | Scholarship Entry

I don't think anyone jumps from regular person to world citizen quite like a transracial adoptee. From the time I was born to an indigenous woman in Guatemala though my upbringing in an Irish-American family, I grew up with the task of learning to walk ... Read more >
