asifallovertheworld: The Gauge of Unsafe in Guatemala

http://asifallovertheworld.blogspot.com/2007/03/gauge-of-guatemalan-unsafe.html

I travel in large part in search of hardship - both my own, which I want to feel, and others', which I need to see. Travel in that sense guides us toward a better balance of wisdom and compassion - of seeing the world clearly, and yet feeling it truly. For seeing without feeling can obviously be uncaring; while feeling without seeing can be blind." -Pico Iyer. Saturday, March 17, 2007. The Gauge of Unsafe in Guatemala. A quaint Jamaican community on the Guatemalan coast. Or like I am going to get kidnapp...

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala: 7/11/08 - Last day of Spanish (double post)

http://blindell.blogspot.com/2008/07/71108-last-day-of-spanish-double-post.html

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala. Friday, July 11, 2008. 7/11/08 - Last day of Spanish (double post). It was a really slow day at clinic, with a handful of patients and no successful interviews. The recent lack of interview success has led Kalya and I to think about what we're doing here with our survey. It was a really fun night. 7/11/08 - Only six more days! Since we've decided to stop interviewing people, there was no reason to go into clinic this morning! Tonight is also Kalya and my despedida, which we...

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala: 7/8/08 - Hoy es Bake Shop

http://blindell.blogspot.com/2008/07/7808-hoy-es-bake-shop.html

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala. Tuesday, July 8, 2008. 7/8/08 - Hoy es Bake Shop. Today was a very disappointing day in clinic. There were only three patients all day, and all three of them did not qualify for our study. We ended up playing cards with the other volunteers for most of the morning. 1 loaf of 100% whole wheat bread. 1 large loaf of banana bread. 1/2 pound of cheddar cheese. 2 chocolate and creme squishy round things.

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala: 7/4/08 - Lagoons and Caves

http://blindell.blogspot.com/2008/07/7408-lagoons-and-caves.html

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala. Friday, July 4, 2008. 7/4/08 - Lagoons and Caves. Today proved to be less exciting than yesterday, but you can't always hit a homerun. The radio, provided by USAID, was very nice and looked totally out of place in this wooden hut. We spent about 15 minutes plugging in various wires in various locations until it finally powered up and started to work. Another 15 minutes passed while we waited for a response from the village. The lagoons themselves are waaaaay better in pictu...

http://blindell.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala. Saturday, May 31, 2008. 5/31/08 - Laguna Chicabal. Well, this is a surprise post. As of last night, we had decided to spend the weekend in Xela working on project stuff and avoiding the rain. By this morning, we were headed on a day trip. And down into the crater. Posted by Brad Lindell. Friday, May 30, 2008. 5/30/08 - An IRB funeral. I will spare you all the gory details, but based on the current programs at Primeros Pasos and the history of program development in the vall...

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala: June 2008

http://blindell.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Fifty-Three Days in Guatemala. Sunday, June 29, 2008. Our sunrise tour of Tikal left Flores at 3:30am, which is freakishly early. But it all paid off when we made it to the top of Temple IV just before it began to get light. I cannot deny that there was no visible sunrise. The dense cloud cover made the sunrise nothing more than a gradual increase in ambient light. But as this was happening, the jungle started to wake up below us. And we've been hanging out at the hostel for most of the afternoon. Th...
