The Photo Collage of the Last 120 Days

 

My site-mate of a year-and-a-half finished her time in Peace Corps last October.


Todos Santos feria: first celebrating Halloween as an ayudante and the next day celebrating All Saints Day with a fellow PCV and the first female rider in a 400+ year history of the horse competitions.

 
The bat caves in Lanquín, Alta Verapaz and the picturesque Semuc Chempey.

 

Thanksgiving in Campur, Alta Verapaz: cleaning the duck, cooking the duck and eating the final product on a plate for three.

 

Santa comes to a kids' camp.

 
"'Tis the season." Washing and drying the Santa suit (Note the volcano in the background - Christmas in Guatemala.)

 

Celebrating Christmas with my Guatemalan family and fully celebrating the opportunity to stuff my face with tamales.


Reunions with family and friends: my sister and brother-in-law, my friend from Peace Corps Peru and a friend and former volunteer of Peace Corps Guatemala.


Our final Peace Corps conference with my training group of January 2009 (dressed Guatemalan [with serious faces] and with our Peace Corps bosses).


Riding the Ferris Wheel with friends at the San Se feria.


Solitude. No single landscape in Guatemala is the same as the next.
