April 16th-April 22nd Monday was our last full day with our host families. This time, some of the goodbyes seemed to be a bit easier than they were in Guatemala City. We have had our share of practicing. As Abdu鈥檒-Baha said goodbye to a group of friends on this date 100 years ago he stated,....

March 29 This week, our excursion was to the city of Tlaxcala. First, we tried the pulque we have been learning about.

Buenas D铆as! It is our second week here in Guatemala City and I think I鈥檓 finally starting to become accustomed to Guatemalan life. The Frijoles (beans) and eggs at least once a day, the crazy packed buses and their routes, the men with firearms that you can find on every street and the coffee at....

Every day. I survived my first flight, which was good. It was incredible looking out the window and seeing....
