Alright, I'm going to give this whole blogging thing another shot. We'll see how it goes this time. Maybe, just maybe, I'll actually maintain this one. At least with posts about my travels.I'm sitting in an empty classroom at 1am on a Sunday night on a rural college campus in the highlands of Guatemala. I've been working all day today, and the day before, and the five days before that, on a tourism consulting project with 23 other "consultants" - most from GWU, some from a local university.
If you asked me how Guatemala is right now, I'd just complain about the fact that I'm trapped in the middle of nowhere, living in a crappy dorm building built by USAID, eating terrible food in the mess hall, and wishing the electricity would stay on and the internet would work reliably. These things wouldn't seem so bad if it weren't for the fact that we are supposed to be a consultant team getting work done for our clients, but the conditions for working are... welllll... less than ideal.
However, I've really enjoyed what I have managed to see of Guatemala so far, and can't wait to get off this campus. Given the internet situation, photo posting is going to be limited, but I'll try to throw a couple up now and then.
*The above pic finally uploaded after 85 tries -- this was taken up on Mt. Pacaya, an active volcano that nearly burned my feet off.
