Susie Jones and I met in kindergarten and were friends through high school. After that we sort of 'lost' each other for awhile, reconnecting 6 or 8 years ago and discovering a lot of common interests. She recently purchased a hostel on the beach in El Salvador and I have a place on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, so we planned a trip split between those 2 countries, then tacked on a fun stop in Belize since we're both scuba divers.<br />
<br />
We headed to the airport from her house in Gresham with an Uber driver at 2:45 on a Friday morning in mid October and had a smooth transition south with a quick but easy layover in Houston.</div>

Susie and I dove twice the following day in the Caye Caulker Reserve and twice the day after that near Ambergris Caye. Day 1 it was just the 2 of us, the captain and the dive master. I didn’t bring my dive camera so only have surface or near to the surface photos. In addition to interesting finger canyon geology, a great array of coral and gorgonians, a nice variety of fish including stoplight parrot fish and lots of angel fish, we got to swim with wild dolphins TWICE.</div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I also attended the Basico graduation of some of our Beca Project students. Basico is like our 7th, 8th, and 9th grades and a very big deal here since very few of their parents made it that far in school. They will choose Diversificado programs - like a combination of high school and trade school - to start in January. I was thrilled to see not only our Beca Project students but 7 or 8 younger siblings of Beca kids, a sign that their parents are working hard to be sure their kids receive an education.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">I continued to spend 4 hours every weekday at La Cooperativa Spanish School with Lorenzo and </span>convinced him to spend our class time one morning hiking around his land at the 2000 meter level on Volcán San Pedro. It was amazing to hear about how he acquired the land, his choices in caring for the coffee and choosing new varieties, his work with the local coffee cooperative, and his dream to build a home there someday (plus the bonus motocycle ride).</span></div>

In July 2018 I traveled again to Guatemala, mostly based in San Pedro La Laguna on Lake Atitlán but with a quick stop in Antigua on the way in and a fun weekend adventure to Xela with a group of friends.<br />
<br />
I usually fly into Guatemala City in the evening but this trip it was mid day - beautiful views!<br />

<span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">The homestay kids, Mynor, and I climbed to the top of Volcán San Pedro - it took 6 hours up and back. Lake Atitlán is about 5000 feetabove sea level and the volcano is about 10,000 feet at the top. The first photo is the view of the volcano from our terrace at 5:45am as we were about to leave and the 2nd is us waiting for a tuktuk (golf cart taxi) to take us from town to the entrance to the park where the hike starts. We were in good company - dozens of men waiting for rides to take them to work in the corn and coffee fields above town.</span></div>

<span class="s1">Visiting the families of the newest Beca Project students is always a highlight. Mynor leads me around (if it's a long way I ride on the back of Mynor's motorcycle) and I would - both literally and figuratively - be lost without him. There are not really street names and addresses here and most students don't live on a street anyway, but on a small alley or off a trail through coffee plants. Also, while the students speak Spanish, most of the parents didn't have the benefit of education so Mynor translates between their Tz'utujil - the local Maya language - and my Spanish. Here are a few favorites.</span><br />

Cayo Frances has stand up paddle boards and kayaks set up for flyfishing. Mike went out 3 days to fish the beautiful flats for bonefish. He caught quite a few, but they were mostly small compared to the bonefish at Tranquility Bay and on Caye Caulker.<br />

A highlight of this trip was being in on the start of a new Kamoon project. Kamoon ('coming together' in Tz'utujil) is the home building project started by the directors of the Cooperativa Spanish School. This home will be built for the deserving Quem Martín family. The photos below show staff and students from the Cooperativa hauling supplies from the road to the building site and the deconstructing of the original buildings.<br />

2 weeks flew by and suddenly I was heading by boat across the lake to Panajachel and by road to Guatemala City where I slept near the airport at <a href="http://www.hostalvillatoscana.com/" target="_blank">Villa Toscana</a> before an early flight home to Oregon through (ick) LAX.<br />

The views of Oregon were marred by wildfires but, as always, I arrived in Oregon grateful to be a traveler, so grateful to my beloveds in San Pedro for another amazing visit, and especially grateful to be home in Oregon with Mike and our family in the gorgeous Pacific NW. HAPPY TRAILS!<br />

SAN PEDRO 2017So I've made my way to the last blog post for this trip. In this post I'm tossing everything that hasn't already been addressed.<br />
<br />
ALWAYS, a highlight of our time in Guatemala is time shared with Mynor and Josefa and their boys Manuel (left) and Antonio (right). Some mutual friends were visiting at the same time which added to the fun. Here's a dinner out.<br />

We love our home away from home in San Pedro, Ti Wachooch. This is a view of it from the street; the bottom 2 floors are Mynor and Josefa's home, the 3rd floor is where our place is, and the terrace and 'throne' at the top we share. The hose is there because water was being pumped from the water reservoir beneath the house to the rotoplas tank on the roof.<br />

Beca student Dorcas, her sister, and another woman have started an artisan chocolate business that is blossoming. When I visited the day before we were heading home to purchase a stash for us and gifts, there were 5 women wrapping and labeling the bars and the fragrance almost knocked me over.<br />

I hope our students and their families understand - and I try to explain it every visit - that the positive impact of our relationship with them extends both ways. Many of the sponsors have visited San Pedro and can attest to the power of the emotional connection and to the pride of these families for their children's successes. Every year the confidence of the students grows - sometimes in phenomenal leaps from painfully shy to confident and outgoing - and the confidence of the parents and siblings shines through as well.<br />
<br />
Gone are the days when I could visit every family in their home every year - there are just too many now to make that feasible, especially since visiting requires a guide to find the homes and a translator for the local Maya language, Tz'utujil, to Spanish or English and back. We'd be literally and figuratively lost without those services from Mynor and he's a busy guy. Our current compromise is to visit just the homes of each year's new students, which Mynor and I set out to do during the week following Semana Santa; we visited 7 families and will visit the remaining 5 when I'm back in August.<br />

Mike and I held six 'Ice Cream Fiestas' on the rooftop terrace of Ti Wachooch in order to see as many of the other students as we could.

Pepían is a savory sauce/soup, one of my favorite traditional foods in Guatemala. Here we go!<br />
<br />
Sometimes pepián has whole pieces of chicken but we made it with generous chunks of chicken breast, boiled in water with thyme, bay leaves, and salt.<br />

The 'icing on the cake' was a wonderful extended family gathering at the beach (on the lake out the Finca Road from San Pedro) - delicious food and great company.<br />

We slept in group homestays, bathed in Maya temascales (sweat baths), and climbed in the dark the last morning to watch the sun rise over the lake. It was a challenging, enriching, and memorable journey - highly recommended.<br />
<br />
We headed to Xela the night before the trek and stayed at a comfortable, friendly hostel called <a href="http://www.casaseibel.com/" target="_blank">Casa Seibel</a>.<br />

...then headed to the Quetzaltrekkers office for a mandatory pretrek meeting. All guides are volunteers and the profits go to programs that support street kids in Xela. Our group included nationals from Austria, Germany, The Netherlands, the US, Guatemala, Iran, and Israel as well as US expats living and working in Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico - no 2 alike!<br />

We ate dinner at a restaurant near our hostel called La Esquina Asiatica - wonderful food but really slow service (happens when only 2 people serve as wait staff and cooks).<br />

<span class="s1">Hi, all!</span></h2>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">After Jennifer left I settled into a cozy routine - breathing in sunrise every morning on the terrace, enjoying the views inside and out throughout the day and night, shopping and people watching at the market and around town, connecting with Beca Project students and their families in the afternoons, sorting photos and FaceTiming with loved ones in the evenings.</span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">Mynor and I visited a total of 13 families, in 3 cases with the sponsors in tow, a special joy. I was able to attend a Baptism where 4 dear friends served as Godparents and 2 more graduations, threw an ice cream party on the terrace for the graduates whose ceremonies were scheduled after my departure, and celebrated with meals out, at Ti Wachooch, and in a student's home.</span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">At the airport in San Pedro Town on Ambergris Caye we parted ways; the Mikes flew to BZE for their flight back to the US. Cherie, John, Susie, Jennifer, and I flew to the Belize City Municipal Airport where we were greeted by Wilfred from <a href="http://www.duplooys.com/" target="_blank">duPlooy's Jungle Resort</a>, our awesome guide for the next 3 days. We loaded into the van and headed west to our 1st stop, the very unique and worthwhile <a href="http://belizezoo.org/" target="_blank">Belize Zoo</a>. Check out this <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belize_Zoo" target="_blank">Wikipedia page</a> if you're interested in a little background. Here are some of my favorite photos from the zoo.</span><span class="s1"></span></div>

I went diving 2 days, 2 tanks each day, with <a href="http://www.belizedivingservices.com/" target="_blank">Belize Diving Services</a> - highly recommended. They have a nice big boat (a benefit for longer trips) and keep the dive groups small. There were people from 8 countries on the boat.<br />

In addition to lots of sharks we saw moray eels, an awesome variety of coral, and some big schools of fish.

In the mangrove roots on the back side of the island, Ronny found some seahorses to show us. I'm sure he was very gentle but we were really uncomfortable that he would remove these delicate fish from their homes for our viewing pleasure.<br />

to our favorite restaurant, <a href="http://wish-willy.com/" target="_blank">Wish Willy</a> - basically a sandy back yard with picnic tables and awesome seafood.<br />

and Maurice (aka Wish Willy) kept bringing lobster tails until we had to turn him away. Total cost for both of us including Mike's beer: $21US.<br />

Alfredo whisked us east to Guatemala City where we checked in at the airport for our evening flight to Flores. After an hour in the air we landed, crossed the tarmac, grabbed our bags, and were met by a driver from the <a href="http://www.tikalinnsunrise.com/" target="_blank">Tikal Inn</a>.<br />

We checked in with dear friend and archaeologist/naturalist <a href="http://www.tikalroxy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Roxy Ortiz</a>. She told us to get a good night's sleep and meet her in the lobby at 3:45am for our sunrise tour. Challenge accepted!<br />
<br />
I love walking into the Maya site in the dark with headlamps and hushed voices. Roxy kept up a steady stream of facts and background color, pointing out treasures like this huge tailless whip scorpion<br />

Even before a gentle rain started, the air was full of moisture, which you can see in this photo we took with a timer and flash on Temple II.<br />

As it started to get light we spent our time stalking around in El Mundo Perdido (The Lost World) and the Plaza of the Seven Temples instead of climbing to the top of Temple IV with the other dawn trippers who were waiting in silence in the fog. The fog gave up secrets to us, thanks to Roxy.<br />

After a dip in the pool and dinner we fell into bed early. The next morning, 2sday, Roxy headed to Flores to shop for the hotel and dropped us at the bus station, boxed breakfasts in hand, to take the 7am <a href="http://lineadorada.info/bus-tickets-guatemala.html" target="_blank">Linea Dorada</a> bus which left promptly at 6:45 (!), cost $24 each, and arrived at the dock in Belize City less than 5 hours later.<br />

<br />
When Guatemalan presidential elections don't result in a majority for 1 candidate, the top 2 have a run off; that occurred while I was in Guatemala this fall. It was an unprecedented year in Guatemalan politics that included months of protests which resulted in a peaceful coup after the vice president was arrested and the president lost immunity and his throne for fraud and embezzlement. The wife of a previous president (who divorced him in order to be eligible to run) lost by a landslide to a popular television comedian with zero experience in government doings; all Jimmy Morales needed was the perfect campaign slogan, seen below: <i>Neither corrupt nor a thief</i>.<br />

Another time the mothers of Maria Concepción and Mariano Donahi brought a wonderful lunch to the school as a thank you - paches (potato tamales) and bread and a delicious, hot fruit drink I'd never tried before. They thought it was hilarious that I thought it was chicken soup until I took a sip.<br />

Another Beca Project event I look forward to is <u>shopping</u>. Some of the sponsors donate money so their students and families can go shopping. Mynor and I looked down the list and picked out 8 additional students with an especially high level of need; my sister Kathy helped me cover the cost of taking them shopping, too (thanks, Kathy!). Most of the families want sacks of dried corn that will be made into tortillas but some buy staples like vegetable oil and household products like toothpaste and soap. They are a blast to shop with - sweet ladies.<br />

While we were in San Pedro, Mynor received an enormous box of donated soccer items, collected and sent from California by Beca Project sponsor Anne Parzick who has spent time the last 2 summers living with a local family while her sons study Spanish. Mike and I had the pleasure of meeting a local fútbol club on their home field and helping to present the items to the kids and their coach.<br />

Another project that is very close to my heart is the Cooperativa Spanish School's Kamoon home building project. Part of each Spanish student's tuition goes toward these homes and many Beca Project sponsors have been really generous in their donations to this fund. They recently completed home #4 for Maria. She helps around Mynor and Josefa's house; 1 afternoon when she left work I took her shopping as a house warming gift and she gave me a tour. I've known Maria for 6 or 7 years and am so happy to see her in this beautiful new home, completed since our last visit to San Pedro.<br />

Another day we got to meet the family next in line for a new home and to help make a video about the project. I'll post the link here to the video when it's ready. It's a lovely setting just a few blocks from Ti Wachooch; the family has no electricity or running water and is currently living in 2 small structures - a covered cooking area made mostly of corn stalks and a small sleeping area with 1 bed that was originally built to store corn. I look forward to the day when they can give me a tour of their new home, too.<br />
