As I was getting my stuff ready to pack up, guess what I found? Here are just a few images that I hope show you what I know of Guatemala.


the view from my room

Nuestro Futuro--second floor is up!

Notice the empty library shelves. Marvin is the librarian--he rocks.

I wasn't joking about the donated books.

That's me with Juan Antonio and Susana.

the view from Nuestro Futuro

A river. Oh, wait, is that the street?!? Yup.

street scenes of Antigua

faces of Xela

carrying the Virgin Mary through the streets

the men's turn

graffiti in Xela: "we must learn to use water or will have to live without her"

more graffiti: "for life--work and peace"

in the selva at Lake Atitlan: spidey
Steve Davis & me as we make our way through the mighty jungle near Lake Atitlan















you gotta know what this is

What could be more beautiful?

Final thoughts:

Sitting in a cafe,

wide open store front,

rain dropping hard on plaza central,

taxis circling,

people with licorice hair and cocoa powder faces covered in sheets of plastic walking by,

I am almost anywhere

but here.

Home tomorrow.

Paz,

Holly
