Coffee Not Coughing Up Enough in Guatemala

Times.com reports that small-production Guatemalan coffee growers can’t make ends meet, even with higher Fair Trade prices. Living in La Antigua Guatemala, I can’t escape the enticing aroma of “cafe.” Here, most of the cafe is supplied by major local producers whose farms carpet the hills surrounding the Panchoy Valley. Producers like the R. Dalton [...]


Massacre Survivor of the Rio Negro Fights to Memorialize, Not Forget, Victims

Global Voices Online has highlighted the unsettling testimony, yet inspiring work of Maya Achí activist Jesús Tecú Osorio. Tecú is one of the few survivors of the Río Negro Massacre, considered “one of the most horrific massacres of Guatemala’s armed conflict” and his recount of what happened is disturbing and graphic: “The military and paramilitary [...]


Oil Hunt in Guatemala

Guatemala is a strikingly beautiful country… stunning and magical. I cringe at how this latest quest to find oil and natural gas will affect this “Land of Green Light.” Read the report from Life in Guatemala: World Energy Research, a New Zealand-based energy research and investment company, is moving into energy exploration in Guatemala. WER [...]


A Parallel Guatemala

I just wanted to briefly comment upon the fact that I had to get online and read the news to realize that Guatemala, a Latin country that is slightly smaller than the state of Tennessee – the country in which I’m happily living – is enduring the worst drought it has faced in 30 years. [...]


Wildlife, Soccer and Sunken Ships at Monterrico

Wildlife, Soccer and Sunken Ships at Monterrico

Monterrico has became a favorite weekend-destination for me. In the past several months, I’ve shuffled back to the lazy, Latin beach town at least four times, maybe more. There are several ways to get there, but hands down, the best way is to include “una lancha” or a small, motorized boat in your route. For [...]


Volcanic Booms

Volcanic Booms

Recently, the days have truly been picture-perfect here in La Antigua with a bright sun peering out from big, puffy clouds that slowly trawl across a deep blue sky. Three volcanoes – Fuego, Agua and Acatenango – loom around the colonial streets of La Antigua like protective guardians. Sometimes the summits of the volcanoes are [...]


Freshwater Pools at El Pilar

Freshwater Pools at El Pilar

As I’ve started to get into my groove here in La Antigua Guatemala, I’ve began to run again. I’m hoping to become disciplined enough to start training for a marathon again. That’s difficult in this socially non-stop Latin hot spot though. Anyway, one of the lesser known gems of La Antigua is Finca El Pilar [...]


Contributing to the Revue

Revue Magazine is Guatemala’s english-speaking cultural guide. I started contributing to the magazine beginning in the month of August. I’ve had a ton of fun crafting various articles about various treasures I’ve already found here in Guatemala and I really enjoy working with them. The articles that have been published both in the magazine and [...]


You’ve Got to Roll With It!

For today’s daily post: a little vid I slapped together of the boys out in the surf at El Paredon Beach in Guatemala. I captured the video with my dinky but nonetheless valuably waterproof, point-and-shoot camera. Enjoy!


Show Me How To Live

A quick little vid of my canopy adventure with Antigua Canopy Tours at Finca Filadelfia: See more photos and read all about how to construct a canopy tour and more in my series of posts at AntiguaDailyPhoto.com: Gliding Through the Treetops The UNIMOG Hog Pick Your Poison El Santuario Constructing a Canopy Course Have a [...]


Soaring Through the Canopy

Soaring Through the Canopy

Right now there’s a series of posts appearing on AntiguaDailyPhoto.com about Antigua Canopy Tours. The series, completed by me, began Thursday of this week and will continue through Thursday of next week. Thanks to Rudy Giron of ADP and Pascu Robredo of Antigua Canopy Tours I was able to enjoy the treetop “flying” experience for [...]


Bodysurfing at El Paredon Beach

Bodysurfing at El Paredon Beach

Okay, getting life set up (as well as keeping up with the non-stop social life) in La Antigua Guatemala has left me with few spare moments. I’m still hoping to catch up on what I can remember from Barcelona as well as chronicle my adventures from the nearly 5 months I’ve already spent back in [...]
