a "Revolutionary" Idea...

Yesterday I went with my roommate Omar and some of his friends to a Village in the mountains called Santa Anita La Union. The Village was formed by a group of ex-guerillas after the peace accords were signed back in 96'. After the formation of the Village they decided to become a Coffee and Banana growing community. About 32 families live in the community working the fields.

I'm going to be heading back to Santa Anita later in November.

As we drove back to Xela we trailed behind a group of workers heading up the mountain roads.

Home for a While...

Xela, my new home for a while. Got to town in the afternoon had a chance to eat a little something and walk around the Parque Central.

Zona Uno, Guatemala City...

Just a quick update before I crash for the night. After a long day of air travel I have landed in Guatemala City. Tomorrow I head for my new home away from home Quetzaltenango or if you prefer Xela. Snapped this quick photo from the balcony of my hotel room. More later!

Testing out the G12

Testing out my new sidekick, so far I'm loving the G12.

Spent sometime in Mesilla New Mexico yesterday. Found this guy in the book store on the plaza.

The Chemist...

Spent a few hours with my friend and Chemist Rudy Guerrero. His research to find and identify chemicals in water sources in the area is interesting work much of it over this photogs head.
